Thank you for all of these ideas for me, still don’t know what I’m gonna get for anyone else 🤣

Ok I do have a question about the butter keep, though. Is it a pain to refill the water and transfer butter? Or one of those “a pain but worth it bc the result is so much better” scenarios?

Worth it. I just leave the stick of butter out for a bit so it’s softer to smash it into the dish. The water part is easy.

Dryland Wilds, for non-perfumey perfumes and body stuff; I have their piñon body oil and I want the perfume oil too. Also, OLO, perfume oils made in Portland -- there are some definite misses for me, personally, but there's really something for everyone and you can order samples before committing to a whole roller. (Extra recommend Dark Wave and Victory Wolf for autumn and winter)

Love this potpourri of ideas. I want for nothing but some of these ideas sure gave me the "wantsies"!

"potpourri of ideas" a great phrase

Most local custom framers should offer gift cards too! It'll probably be more expensive than Framebridge, but they'll have more options and will do their best to design something nice and in your price range.

So many terrific suggestions! Not sure where to begin.If you and Ben have been able to surround yourselves with all this great stuff, you are lucky indeed! Now to get back to shopping (on a budget). Thanks!

I just ordered the French butter keep... and like 10 other items from that website. FREE SHIPPING and all. LOL. Dang, that was a rabbit hole.

the pebble ice machine is so good for us ice fiends. HOWEVER, cleaning it is not to be taken lightly if you live somewhere with hard water!

While shopping for something else, I ran across this housecoat (which they call a "wearable throw") that is 10X cheaper than the one you've been hankering for. I don't know if this one would check the boxes for you, but FWIW: https://shop.pbs.org/HAU726.html

(Btw, I get nothing from this link, just thought of your post when I saw it)
