Not only can we feel good about supporting a brand like Pansy Co but imagine opening a gift with any of these comfies in it and not wearing them at least twice a week? It’s foolproof.
*Jil (Chunks Wholesale Manager) & Lupe (Chunks Shipping Specialist) love Pansy Co bc not only are they fully compostable, but they're soft & cozy to the point that you forget you're even wearing anything -- and that's saying something bc Lupe only wears a bra when she has to, hehe.

I’ll warn you now that these sell out quickly, so make sure to place your order early so Piera can get you your candle in time to be wrapped.
Fredricks & Mae cutting board: $32-95
The cutting board; an essential household item. We all have one, we all need one. BUT let’s be honest, most of ours are pretty gross by now. Fredricks & Mae have made upgrading our old cutting boards a little more exciting with these funky chopping blocks made using professional grade plastic scraps leftover from making solid colored cutting boards.

Verloop knit slippers: $40-58
As a society, we’re becoming increasingly aware of the fashion industry and the insane amount of textile waste that comes with it. Verloop aims to do things differently.

SIN home objects: $35-130
Virginia Sin and her small team make beautiful clay objects with their two bare hands in Brooklyn, NY. If you want to go the practical route this year, think ceramic toothbrush holder, fruit bowl OR maybe a bookend made with lots of love. Virginia strives to bring warmth to every home she touches. And I can guarantee these will be put to use.
*Tiffany (Chunks Owner) loves elevating simple things we use everyday but easily overlook -- her SIN toothbrush holder is a prime example of just that.
