Have you made a list, checked it twice, but still feel like you’re missing that special gift? Don’t worry because we’ve got you covered with a gift guide featuring everything from clothing and accessories to candles and coffee from artists and brands in our online shop, Six & Main.

Whether you’re shopping for the ultimate party host, your favorite homebody, or someone in between, there’s a gift for everyone.

Party host 🎉

Be the life of the party by gifting uniquely scented candles from Wixology Candle Company, cocktail mixers from Simple Times Mixers, or cocktail glasses by AlanaKay Art.

Homebody ☕

If you’re shopping for someone who prefers to stay at home, make them feel cozy with a mug reppin’ their favorite city (and make sure it’s filled with Methodical Coffee or tea from Matcha Nude).

Influencer 🛍️

Dress the influencer in your life with bracelets and necklaces from M+H Beads, earrings from Eleven + Jane and AlanaKay Art, or buttoned printed shirts by Block + Ink. Finish the look with a wristlet or messenger bag by Carry Courage.

Adventure seeker 🏕️

Adventurers can relax in outdoor chairs from Trippy Outdoor, keep their brews cold with Kanga Coolers, and catch a big one with fishing supplies from Toadfish. To fully equip them to explore the great outdoors, add a Jack Foster hat + Rheos floating sunglasses.
