After Halloween, the joke is that Mariah Carey starts to defrost and all holiday hell breaks loose. Personally, I’m a fan – especially after the last few years. I think we all need it, eh?
Of course, once November rolls around, we see deals upon deals creep up – in our emails, on targeted ads on Instagram and even aimlessly window shopping. And while I’m all for giving and receiving (capitalism baby!!!) during the holiday season, I’d prefer to spend my money this year with small shops that I’ve grown to know and love.
Which (!!!) leads me to highlighting one of my favorite stores in San Francisco – post.script. It’s nestled on a busy street in Pacific Heights and upon stepping inside feels fresh, modern and peaceful. Light pours through the gigantic windows in the front which is the perfect spotlight to all the colorful and fun pieces Chandler (the owner) curates and features.
SO, that’s a little back story on the shop itself, but you were promised a shop small gift guide. Well, don’t worry – I got cha back. Read on for a few of my seasonal favorites:
The ultimate dad hat
If you’re shawppin’ for someone who you don’t know wtf they’d like or want, I promise you – this Poketo Thinking Cap is it. I mean, it’s clever, colorful (comes in black and white too!) and won’t break the bank. I’m a huge fan of Poketo products and you bet your fanny I have one of these hats – mine says California, but they also have Koreatown, Los Angeles and ART hats!
Creative, cool & comfortable socks!
I know what you’re thinking. SOCKS? How original, Aimee. But literally – the socks post.script has to offer are literally the most original you’ll find. I’m a HUGE fan of Hooray Socks (an SF based brand!!!) and then thrown in are some incredibly fun, colorful and quirky socks – perfect for friends, family members and hell – you deserve a pair (or two) for yourself!
Books and book accessories!
I’m a big fan of books. Coffee table books, novels, uh…basically all the books. Post-script has a beautiful selection of books that range from art to architecture that I could spend hours devouring. And because books gotta stand somehow, I’m obsessed with their book accessories. Tom and I have a few of these already, but the Areaware book ends are SO delightful. They’re colorful, sturdy and perfect for mixing and matching.
Pens, pencils and paper – oh my!
If you have friends (like me) that are obsessed with lists, journaling or even doodling, I love these notebooks! Also everything is better in color, right? They have a variety of stationary from Poketo, Moglea (my personal faves!) and more. And because having a notebook with no writing utensil is a bit tricky, post.script has A TON of writing options that would make any artist swoon.
