Almond Cow

The Almond Cow Starter Set makes the absolute best gift for nearly anyone on your list, especially since plant-based milk has become so popular. Store-bought milk products often contain additives, and preservatives, and tend to be overpriced. Many of the leading brands also contain only 2% almonds (yikes). With Almond Cow, you can easily make healthier, cost-effective, and sustainable milk at home — tailored to your specific taste! Better for you and the environment.

We love that the Almond Cow Starter Set has everything you need to make a variety of homemade plant-based milks. It includes the Milk Maker for making milk, a Glass Jug for storing milk, a Jug Brush for cleaning, and 4 bags of ingredients (Bee-Friendly Almonds, Organic Cashew Pieces, Organic Whole Grain Oats, and Organic Coconut Shreds) to get started on making delicious, wholesome milk right at home. We're hooked!

Whether you’re shopping for someone who loves to cook, enjoys drinking plant-based milk, cares about sustainability, or just wants to simplify their life…we think the Almond Cow Starter Set makes the perfect gift.




Fat Brain Toys

From the littlest kids to the biggest kids, Fat Brain Toys has an opportunity for pure, authentic play for all the children on your holiday list. With toys like InnyBin and SpinAgain, little ones are able to observe their senses and hone their fine motor skills as they complete a simple task, all while being inspired to explore and experiment in their own unique ways. We love how Fat Brain Toys encourages our kids toward creative play.

With a toy like Dimpl Digits, that same sensory exploration graduates into early learning where kids can approach words and numbers with the same playfulness and curiosity. Then there are games like GibGab and Ribbon Ninja. Now, rather than learning new skills, kids are putting the skills they already have to the ultimate test!   





Card My Yard

Card My Yard is the original yard greeting franchise that has transformed celebrations, milestones, and events across the country by offering readily available and custom-made signs to commemorate all occasions.

Founded in 2014 by a pair of Austin friends, Amy Arnold and Jessica Stanley set out on a mission to spread joy and create a positive impact in communities nationwide. The company has grown to more than 500 locations across the country.

Catering to special occasions, events, and milestones, Card My Yard is offering a personalized birthday yard greeting rental. Once an order is placed, a Card My Yard franchise owner designs the greeting and works to seamlessly deliver and set up at the specified time and location.

Card My Yard greetings are used to celebrate holidays, birthdays, and special occasions and make the perfect and unique way to wish someone special to you happy holidays this season!





APTO Skincare

We love APTO Skincare's multitasking me-time essentials, designed to help you glow on the inside and out. 

And here's the perfect self-care gift, mindfully made for you, mama: This Limited Edition Turmeric Glow Bundle combines turmeric skincare essentials with multitasking botanical benefits that create a moment of zen during holiday time-out. 

The Turmeric Glow Bundle features the all-new Turmeric Oil with Rosemary, our bestselling Turmeric Mask with Azelaic Acid and Turmeric Mist with Witch Hazel, plus a Wooden Face Massager to complete an at home-spa experience.
