A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Hello dear readers, and happiest holidays to you. I’m so delighted you’ve found your way to this year’s gift guide, my little corner of curated cheer. Last season’s digital guide was such a joy to create (and to see you enjoy) that I couldn’t help myself; I had to bring another to life, this time stitched with even more whimsy and quiet delight. As much as I adore the flurry of gift guides that whirl across our screens each year, the endless scroll can feel a touch oversaturated, links on links, lists upon lists. My hope, as ever, is to offer a gentler experience: beautiful things worth noting, presented in a slower, more intentional way. And so, I give you Worth Noting’s Holiday Gift Catalogue, inspired by the beloved glossies of the twentieth century, the charm of vintage advertisements, and the nostalgic magic of a bygone era.
Think of it as stepping softly back in time, perhaps toward a thoughtful way to shop for those you love. Every item has been chosen with great care. As you know, I’m endlessly drawn to vintage treasures and timeless pieces that transcend any decade or trend. That’s precisely the spirit woven throughout these pages: something lovely for everyone on your list, and classic finds anyone might cherish for years to come. This guide has truly been a labor of love, perhaps my favorite one yet, and I’m deeply grateful you’re here to read, shop, and share it. Whether you’re searching for the perfect present or simply dreaming up your own wish list, I hope you savor the simple pleasure of flipping through!
