Stuck on What to Get Her? Ask a Penguin
Share
Gift Ideas is the Fun & Sassy Gifts collection for the moment you have been staring at a blinking cursor for twenty minutes, searching for something that is not another candle. It gathers designs with very different personalities, so the only real question is which one sounds like her.
The baker
Whatever Bakes Your Cookies stars two penguins in floppy red Santa hats, standing shoulder to shoulder at a table covered in fresh cookies, with a little tower of treats stacked up behind them and snow drifting down outside. One is holding a rolling pin like it is a badge of office. They look proud, a little flour-dusted and completely in charge of the kitchen. If her love language is a plate of something warm pushed across the counter, this is her design, and she will laugh at how much the penguins resemble her in December.
The one with the red nose
Whatever Lights Your Rudolph is a gangly reindeer with enormous branching antlers, a goofy open-mouthed grin and, of course, a glowing red nose. The words tumble down the side in bold brown and bright red, with a lettering style that feels a little like a holiday movie poster. He is sweet, slightly clumsy and impossible not to root for, which makes him a match for the friend who lights up every room and trips over the doorframe on the way in.
The optimist
Whatever Bends Your Rainbow sweeps a bright rainbow across the design in a big friendly arc, the word bends written in flowing teal script right through the middle. It works in every season and for every occasion. It is for the friend who always finds the silver lining, sends the encouraging text at exactly the right moment and never met a color she did not like.
For whoever is on your list right now
The sister who bakes. The coworker with the laugh you can hear from the parking lot. The neighbor who waves at everybody like she means it. Read those descriptions again and one of them already has a face attached. That is your answer. Hand it over, watch her grin, and let the penguins take the credit for your excellent taste.
