This year, you won't be left scrambling to find a gift last minute. In part, because the inaugural CraftHER Market taking place this weekend features a huge lineup of locally crafted art, clothing, jewelry, good, and more. But also because we've created this perfect gift guide.

Meet local gem Jack & Lola, a shop filled with curated collections of small batch, handmade, and artisanal goods. Started by boss babe Gaby O'Hearn, Jack & Lola was created as a tribute to her grandparents who "instilled the importance of adventure and family" and influenced Gaby to create a business that features products in small batches from local artisans. Read more about Gaby and how she got her start below and check out her online shop here. 

Follow Berkman Drive long enough, into the upper creases of North Austin, and you’ll find a nondescript shopping strip center. There, in its furthest corner, past the Beall’s and the Domino’s pizza, are the frosted windows and high ceilings of Cement Loop studios. On any given night, visual artist Ashton Guy is likely inside, resplendent in color and cartoon energy, blaring music (if it’s late enough) and painting in the studio space she shares with fellow artists Kaitlin Merchant Davison and Christine Vanderkaap.

Meet Nicole Jones, a babe with a natural talent for floral design. Nicole created the beautiful arrangements for our spring retreat and continues pursuing her passion with through her own business Jones Florals. Learn more about Nicole and her role models below!
