An Anaway Holiday Gift Guide

The holidays at Anaway are full of special gatherings. I can trace my adult life by holiday occasions at Anaway - a proposal, a new baby, an original song, and many New Year’s Eve parties full of games, dancing and laughing, the occasional firework - and sometimes a memorial for a lost loved one. At Anaway, we greet new faces almost every year during the holidays and we savor the moments to get to know each other more deeply, walk or sled the Ridge Road in the snow or even below zero temps, and snuggle under blankets for movies or firelit glasses of spirits.

This is the inspiration for Anaway Home’s holiday collection - Gifts & Cheer. We are excited to offer brand new products to this collection. A few favorites, which remind us of holidays at Anaway, are below as a guide for gifting to your friends, family, or gifting to yourself. Happy Holidays from Anaway!

Scandi Rustic Coffee Table Book

Scandi Rustic Book by Rebecca Lawson and Reena Simon

Melt into the pages of Scandi Rustic: Creating a Cozy & Happy Home by Rebecca Lawson and Reena Simon. The visuals of cozy, relaxed interiors with clean lines and Scandinavian style will surely inspire and serve as a form of therapy - design therapy.

Sculpted Taper Candle Holder

Sculpted Candle Holder and Harvest Gold Taper Candle

The clean silhouette and earthy feel of concrete, paired with a plaster white or light gray tone will soften home décor and signify easy living. We love that these are hand poured in California by two sisters in small batches.

For a perfect gift, add the Harvest Gold Taper Candles - pictured here.

Pebbled Cocktail Shaker

Pebbled Cocktail Shaker

For the barkeep in your family or friend group, this cocktail shaker is a beautiful and useful bar tool. With a hammered, brass-like stainless steel lid and a lightly dimpled glass vessel, this shaker is handcrafted from partially recycled glass.

Sourced responsibly from The Collective, a collaborative of designers, artisans and manufactures which prioritizes artisans using centuries-old techniques.

The Katie Pillow

Katie Pillow

Throw pillows can feel like a luxury of home decor, especially when you are on a tight budget (speaking from experience). Which makes them great for gift-giving!

The Katie Pillow, named after our Katie Calnin, is a perfect pillow for the holiday season, the maroon tones nod to the colors of the season, but the print will carry your home decor through the winter.

These pillows from Tensira are hand-dyed and hand-woven in a safe and fair workshop in the country of Guinea, West Africa, with zero waste. Take a look at all of our Tensira pillows in our Pillows & Decor collection.

Everyday Backpack

Everyday Backpack

Last but not least, the Everyday Backpack is an amazing gift. With pockets in all the right places, the handmade details of this bag make it perfect for daily use, excursions into the outdoors, or traveling.

Just ask Morgann McCoy, the designer and seamstress behind A Well Worn Story. She uses this bag everyday - hence the name!

Typically these are made to order, but we have a few in stock, purchase online and you’ll have it as quickly as we can pack it up and ship it to you!

The holidays are about slowing down, showing those around you how much you cherish them, and Anaway Home has you covered with an array of thoughtful gifts that are carefully curated and sourced. You can buy with confidence that you are contributing to the “slow economy” - one that cares for people and the planet.

Wishing you an Anaway Holiday!
