The Blanton’s Holiday Gift Guide

Visit the Blanton Museum Shop this holiday season to find unique gifts for everyone on your shopping list. From handcrafted jewelry and accessories to whimsical games and contemporary home décor, the Museum Shop offers a variety of specialty items that range from playful, out-of-the-ordinary stocking stuffers to timeless gifts for someone special. Museum Shop Manager Justin O’Connor shares some of her favorite gift ideas:

7_bellroy-whsd-cocoa-bellroywebsite-10_2.1401257422Bellroy Wallets: These beautifully crafted leather wallets are from a company in Australia that almost feels like family. They not only focus on quality, function and design but are also passionate about the environment and their carbon footprint. My husband and I are both proud Bellroy wallet owners, I carry the Slim Sleeve in Blue Steel and he carries the Note Sleeve in Java. $54.95-$129.95

mellisaborrellMelissa Borrell: I discovered Melissa during the East Austin Studio Tours and fell in love with with both her jewelry and her larger than life paper sculptures. Her Pop Out jewelry line is one of my favorites, not only because it looks great, but because it has an element of interaction and surprise. There’s just something fun about popping the forms out of their metal card and deciding where you want to attach the chain or ear hooks. An added bonus is how easily they slip into a card and can be mailed! $34-$55

Sunflowers_Collage_grandeHotSox: Socks are this year’s “it” accessory! There is nothing more fun and surprising than a bright, bold sock peeking out from underneath a pair of slacks. Choose from a wide array of famous art masterpieces designs in both men’s and women’s sizes. $8-$12

hands-rattle-300-2-e1394040333406innerSpirit Rattles by J Davis Studios: The perfect gift for the person who has everything. Handmade in Alpine, Texas they capture the free spirit of West Texas. Each shaker comes in a gift box with a story card to inspire the receiver. $28

Sabre Paris Cutlery: Add sparkle to your holiday table with a selection of Sabre cutlery and serving ware. Made just outside of Paris, these little gems make a great hostess gift or stocking stuffer. Available in teaspoons, cake servers, bread knifes and salad serving sets. $6-$36
