Gift Guide: Mother's Day
This year, we want to honor our mothers from afar or from the same room. We will take this day to celebrate the moms in our lives (and our aunts, grandmothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and female role models). You are sure to be mom’s favorite with one of these special gifts or even a gift certificate from one of our New York Handmade Collective members.
Gift Guide: Taking Care of Others, Taking Care of Yourself
In these historic times, caring is so important. How you care for yourself, how you care for others; that is what will get us through the day. Support creative small businesses, take care of yourself, give a gift: it is a win-win-win situation. Please find self-care featured products that are created by our own New York Handmade Collective members.
