2025 Holiday Gift Guide

Black Friday. Small Biz Saturday. Sofa Sunday. Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday. And now…Water Art Wednesday?!

It’s been a noisy stretch. A week (or more) of theme days, countdown clocks, and inboxes filling faster than a king tide. With so many voices shouting at once, it can be hard for the small folks, the one-person studios, handmade makers, and local artists to get a little space out there.

So if you’re here, taking a breath and looking for gifts made with care…thank you. Everything I create for Deliciousalt Bagels begins here in San Francisco — every wave photo I’m currently offering was captured in The Bakery (aka Baker Beach), and my cards, coasters, and Marine Layer prints are handcrafted and assembled in my home studio in the Outside Lands of San Francisco. My hats and apparel are sourced locally in San Francisco and Marin, the reclaimed wood frames for my Marine Layer series are made by local artisans in Aptos, CA, and my fine art prints are produced with incredible quality by my print partner in Germany.

No matter where each piece is finished, it all starts with the same intention: small-batch, thoughtfully made work from within a one-person studio. So it means the world when people choose to support me and my art, and for me to know that my art is bringing you joy in your spaces.

So thanks again. For being here and checking out what I have to offer this holiday season in my 2025 DSB Holiday Gift Guide:

Gifts Under $30

• A-Frame Card Prints ($16 each):  My first product. My most popular product. Hand made glossy photo prints on nice card stock. Numbered in batches of 100 and signed by me.

• Cruiser-Edition Cards ($8 each): The same iconic imagery as the A-Frame cards, but simply digitally printed directly onto on nice card stock. These cards are best for people who love to write a LOT of hand-written notes. See box sets…

• Cold Water Coasters ($25 each - only available at in-person pop-ups for now - 4-packs ARE available here): This is my most premium handcrafted piece — a single coaster featuring one of four images (Chef’s Kiss, OG Perfect, I Heart SF, or Peek), embossed onto a 4" acacia block and sealed with plant-based resin for a smooth, glossy finish.

• Christmas Ornaments ($20 each - also only available at in-person pop-ups for now): Strikingly similar to the Cold Water Coasters, these “career change” coasters are repurposed as beautiful ornaments to hang each year on your tree. 

*due to limited inventory, these are available exclusively at the LIVE events I’ll be popping up at (see POP-UP event schedule below). I’m building more in gaps in my day with the HOPE of bringing some inventory online starting December 9. But there’s no guarantee of that and your best bet is to come get them in-person this weekend!

Gifts Under $50

• Brand Hats, Hats, Hats ($35 - $42 each): I love hats! Maybe you aren’t ready for the art but want to support the artist and the little brand I’m creating, in which case, my Truckers ($39), Rope Hat ($39), Corduroy Hat ($42) and Beanies ($35) should be up your alley.

• Brand Tees ($32 each): Same idea as the hats. Limited inventory by size and style. 

• Cruiser-Edition Card 6-Pack ($40): The same iconic imagery as the A-Frame cards, but simply digitally printed directly onto on nice card stock (not signed or numbered). These value-forward cards are best for people who love to write a LOT of hand-written notes.

Gifts Under $100

Brand Hoodies ($68): Same idea as the hats and tees.  Limited inventory by size.

These value-forward cards are best for people who love to write a LOT of hand-written notes.

• Cold Water Coasters ($95 4-Coaster Set): My most premium handcrafted pieces, these coaster sets include four designs (Chef’s Kiss, OG Perfect, I Heart SF, and Peek), each embossed onto a 4" acacia block and coated in plant-based resin for a smooth, glossy finish.
