This year, I decided to focus on small Portland shops, makers and lovers who - more than ever - need our support after a dreadful year.

Everything is shoppable online, so don't fret if you're not local ;)

For the crafty person in your life who's always excited to learn a new skill.

First, consider:

• A homemade gift, like a notebook.

• A gift of experience, like a workshop at the DIY Bar.

• A gift to support their favorite art collective, like Future Prairie.

Then, feel free to pick one of the following:

• A macrame wall hanging kit by Portland company Modern Macrame.

• A Shoe Making Kit by Portland maker Rachel Sees Snail Shoes.

• A potter's apron by Portland Apron Company.

• A Leather Tray Kit by Portland shop Klumhouse.

• A fun print by Wilcraft Studio founder Chelsea Heffner.

• Ceramic classes via Zoom by Radius in Portland (pick up the supplies at the studio).

• An elegant pair of scissors from Portland shop Little Otsu.

• A wall-mounted paper holder by Portland Store Scoolhouse Electric.

• A big tote from Portland Makers Hand-Eye Supply.

• A trusty journal from Portland Store 11:11 Supply.

And here's the complete 2020 Holiday Gift Guide & the Conscious by Chloé Shop.
