Whether it’s a rug to tie a room together, holiday decorations to celebrate the season or incense to spread a peaceful aroma — we are obsessed with finding things for our humble abodes. Here’s a list of our top 10 home & décor gifts made by women-owned businesses.

2. NUTCRACKER COASTER SET by ANNA BOND at RIFLE PAPER CO.

We have a special place in our hearts for all things Nutcracker because we grew up in Boston and saw the Boston Ballet’s holiday production every year as young girls. So, when we saw this whimsical Coaster Set, we knew we had to include it on the list. The art whisks you away to the land of magicians, mouse kings, toy soldiers and sugar plum fairies. Handmade in Sweden from lightweight, FSC sourced birchwood, these coasters will protect your surfaces and add a festive touch to your coffee table.
