Gift brand, Hereafter, aims to create products that can be held, appreciated, and remembered. Founded by designer Yvonne Leung, the small brand offers handcrafted wooden keepsakes that are both unique and sustainable. Their products include hand-bound journals, Christmas ornaments, and wooden cards. They also include customized and personalized items (our favorite is their wooden keepsake boxes).
The items are made in Hereafter’s studio in LA. “Most Hereafter products start out as slats of wood,” explained Leung in an interview with Etsy’s blog. “We laser cut the slats with the designs and break them down into individual pieces. We also hand-stain our walnut keepsake boxes to make sure the engraving pops against the dark color of the wood.”
According to Leung, her business grew over time, beginning with a simple idea: making a unique wooden card, made to last. She then started selling her products at local craft fairs, after which she expanded with sales to online shoppers and store owners. “At first it was all me, but now I know what I’m good at and I have a team that helps me by doing the things that they’re great at,” she relayed. “For me, it’s inspirational to give other people creative freedom. Usually I’ll have a seed of an idea in terms of what I want to see this season, and then I collaborate with my team to bring those ideas to life.”
Over the past decade, the business has grown its product line, created new designs, and introduced special offerings that help people find gifts of love for almost any occasion. As a small company, they also look at their impact on the environment from the moment a new product or design is considered through development, manufacturing, sales, and delivery.
They’ve also committed to donating at least $1 from each online purchase to timely initiatives including social justice, civil rights, women’s rights, and international aid. All in all, their products make for the ideal gift.

]]>Father’s Day, which is coming up on June 20th, is a notoriously tricky holiday as dads are famously difficult to shop for. What do they really want, anyway? It seems like, for some reason, they never make it very clear to their kids, who are left scrambling for ideas and worried that they’re buying something that’ll end up collecting dust. But not if you get your dad one of the following gifts.
5-in-1 Indoor Electric Countertop Grill
Combine fathers’ infamous love for grilling with their interest in convenience and you get this 5-in-1 indoor grill that allows dads to get into the cookout spirit year-round. This baby can air fry, dehydrate, roast, bake, and – of course – grill. The efficiency is simply delicious.
(@thedaleyplate)The Davek Traveler Umbrella
It doesn’t get more practical than this gift: an umbrella that doesn’t suck. It might cost a pretty penny at $95, but it’s also the last umbrella that your dad will ever need—provided that he doesn’t lose it.
Craft Beer Club Subscription
Let’s end with one that’s pretty much sure to be a favorite. Getting your dad a 6-pack feels a little anticlimactic, but getting him a subscription to a monthly craft beer delivery service is both thoughtful and super useful.

Below are our best suggestions for Christmas 2020 gifts for readers in your life who get all the books as they come out.
Kindle
No matter how much your reader friend is into paperback books, they will definitely find a Kindle useful and practical for certain situations. Kindle and similar e-readers are amazing for traveling when they can’t pack several books with them or want to take with them at all times without the added weight in their bag.
Aujourd’hui je vous parle de « Charmant Connard » de Mia Carre publié aux éditions @ed_addictives C’est une lecture que j’ai adoré ! J’ai beaucoup aimé suivre cette colocation un peu bancale et très électrique. Dans cette romance on retrouve Hope et Arthur, Hope débarque à New York et se voit proposer d’habiter l’appartement d’Arthur. Une colocation qui s’annonce plutôt simple car Arthur n’est pas souvent chez lui. Mais Hope va bousculer sa vie de célibataire qui profite bien de la vie… J’ai vraiment passé un bon moment, là plume de Mia Carre est moderne et plutôt marrante. Une lecture légère et parfaite pour cette période un peu difficile !Beautiful Journal
Readers like to take notes and what better way to do it than to use a gorgeous journal? We’re sure a nice journal or a beautiful notebook will be appreciated by everyone who likes making lists, write down thoughts, or to even start writing something of their own!
Coffee/Tea Mug
Readers know how magical it can be to snuggle on a cold winter Sunday with a good book in one hand and a warm beverage in the other, so you can give them a big, nice mug for tea or coffee.
Lubicie świąteczne i zimowe kubki? Co najczęściej w nich pijecie? U mnie oczywiście kawa niezmiennie przez cały rok, jednak w tym zimowym czasie chętnie sięgam po gorącą czekoladę, aromatyczną herbatę czy grzane wino 
. . Lampki – to temat na dzisiejszy #instawtorek 
. Takie zdjęcie z lampkami w tle potrafię zrobić właśnie dzięki Dominice @kobiecafotoszkola 
. Zakochałam się w tym efekcie
. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Do you like Christmas or winter cups? What do you usually drink in them? Of course, I have coffee all the time throughout the year, but at this winter time I like to reach for hot chocolate, aromatic tea or mulled wine The post The Best Christmas 2020 Gifts for Readers That Aren’t Books appeared first on toppoptoday.com.
