shop small: jayson home.

one of my favorite small businesses and one that's ideal for uniquely personal gift giving.

i feel like jayson home is almost a too-well-kept secret. it’s one of my favorite home decor resources, so i’d love to introduce you if you’ve not already had the pleasure. for over 25 years, jayson home has had just one lovely brick-and-mortar shop in chicago, and their online shop — which is full of uniquely curated homewares, furniture, and accessories from all over the world. some of my parisian favorites are stocked here (oooh la la!), like antoinette poisson, diptyque, and astier de villatte. they carry everything from coffee table books to suzanis and even stock all sorts of one-of-a-kind vintage collectibles, rugs, and furniture.

i asked jayson home if i might feature them in my shop small series, and they very kindly invited me to choose a few of my favorite gift ideas to style and photograph to share with you. i then had such fun putting together three unique holiday gift guides from their well-curated collections — but i think these guides work year-round, offering you some eclectic ideas for those you love and want to surprise with gifts that are uniquely personal and perfectly suited to them. nothing says kind attention and caring, like choosing something special you know your nearest and dearest will love. i hope you find some gift ideas that resonate with you, and for more inspiration, follow @jaysonhome on instagram and check out their pinboards, too.
