Does traveling inspire you as much as it inspires me? My favorite items in both my home and my wardrobe were discovered in the most unexpected of places in faraway destinations. Because of that, I wanted to do a little something different this year for my gift guide and so I’ve created a digital zine with dozens of gift ideas from around the world. I’ve spotlighted some of my favorite items from five countries including Morocco, Japan, Mexico, Turkey and Italy and have included gift ideas for everyone including kids, dads, girlfriends, co-workers. Each page is divided by country, and across from each country’s guide are some of my instagrams from this past year that depict how I use similar items in my own life.
A healthy mix of handmade, vintage and designer items–you can tell your loved ones that you searched the world over to find the perfect gift this year.
I hope you love and share it! Have fun getting ready for the holidays!

I loved this post so much… a great spin off on the many gift guides I’ve been seeing that are all beginning to blend together. Travel DOES inspire me as much as it inspires you, and I agree that my most treasured belongings come from around the world, found in little corners and mostly unplanned! I am going to Morocco (again) in February and I can’t wait. Thanks for the inspiring post and zine!
