The Cowl Knit Kit from Sh*t That I Knit - I learned how to knit this year with this kit! It's a fun, relaxing new hobby and would make a great experiential gift! Maragold Convertible Crossbody Clutch - I know, biased - BUT this actually has been one of my most used things of 2020. This bag has proven versatile, seasonless and functional while being compact, lightweight and...
