Holiday Ready
Love how this transitions to all seasons (pair with some turqoise and white for summer, or blingy jewelery for holiday, fall could be a black healed boot... endless options!
COCO the shop has become an absolute go-to for me this year!
This small but mighty team shows us all (via social) their everyday hustle to make COCO The Shop the success that it is. All the while having all the fun!
Best of all? They give us a fresh, curated collection of high quality, reasonably priced, women’s clothing every Tuesday evening!
​
You’ll find me on my phone, wherever I am at 8 pm on Tuesdays shopping from this Dublin owned, online boutique.
02
Elm & Iron
Elm & Iron has been a staple for me since their original shop opened in Clintonville years ago. Their merchandise mix, including vintage goods, as well as hyper local wares is exceptional.
They have gifts, decor and even furniture.
​
I might love their actual store merchandizing more than anything else. Their displays in store are gorgeous! If you love Anthropologie home goods, check out Elm and Iron. They are their younger, cooler cousin, with just as much style.
​​
Warehouse sales happen twice a year and bring in much more vintage, always a fun (and busy!) hunt!
​​
Also, some of the best staff in Columbus retail.

Food & Courage
I met Rachel recently, in the very best way, through her cookies. I ate one and had to sit down, it was so amazing! Rachel's story is one I am so wildly a fan of, catch this:
Food & Courage specializes in shaved chocolate chunk cookies with a touch of Maldon Salt.
(I'm in already, but...)
They only use ingredients that are helpful to the human body! They are gluten free, dairy free and only use complex sugars.
(so yeah, double fan, but wait, even more...)
This team is so dedicated to making a difference as passionate advocates against sex trafficking, they donate 10% of their profits toward it!
​
Buy the cookies, the cookie is next to none, the packaging is so chic, and the health and cause makes it a no brainer!

@highbankco_
We have enjoyed High Bank's whiskey for quite some time, and we sure aren't the only ones. Consider us locals so lucky that we have this multi-award-winning whiskey right in our backyard! The bonus is that the restaurants consistently serve delicious menu items, with great service. Grab one for the whiskey lover on your list!
A must have in our bar
I'll never get over this custom walnut and brass floor mirror I designed for a client with Jeff at Left Hand Wood Supply- via Collective Home Supply

Collective Home Supply Co.
Collective Home Supply opened this summer.
Tracy and her team stock over 20 different sellers’ items in store. There is a difference from others that have a similar model, it’s the merchandising.
The eclectic items that are in store are mixed and staged so well it’s difficult (for me, impossible) to not take something home every time I visit. I love the discoveries at this shop and was thrilled to see, on my most recent trip, that the store is stocked with amazing gift items. Don't forget the plant and potting room as well as classes!
Left Hand Wood Supply is also all over this store, custom handmade pieces of furniture with gorgeous lines and wood that is to die for. This is a must see always but get there now for gifts!

Summer Sunday

Summer Sunday is my go-to for the cutest graphic tops. This one is my current favorite, a little retro a lot of fun!
Not only do they carry the best graphics but they have some other fun favorites in their online shop!
Niki also does custom items, so all my Dwell Well Design Co. branded items come from Summer Sunday. She can truly do anything!
If you have an idea for something, this is who can run with it. She is fantastic and quickly provides additional ideas.

I discovered Bibliophile Candle Co at Collective Home Supply Co. Kylie specializes in creating scents that take you to a certain book, movie or show.
I loved working with her on the collaboration candle Dwell Well Design Co. x Bibliophile Candle Co. "Winter Brunch"! I shared with her my thoughts and she nailed it! It’s a gorgeous home smell that takes you to a place of joy, laughter, and celebration. It's crazy how smells can do that isn't it? I so appreciate her art, and am thrilled that the Dwell Well Exclusive Candle that I give my clients is made by Kylie at Bibliophile Candle Co.

Dwell Well x Bibliophile "Winter Brunch" candle is a great gift- it even comes beautifully wrapped!

Anna Sokol Fine Art
I have been following Anna Sokol and her art journey for quite some time. I love her work, the colors, the texture, the message!
I was so excited to see her ornaments this year. They are a beautiful, heartfelt gift, or even a gift topper!
I also would encourage you to think past the holidays. These are a perfect thank you and hostess gift for those people that have everything.
Explore her line of everyday goods as well, I hope you love it as much as I do!

Ivy Court Plants + Home
Gift Guide Promotion: DwellWell
For 15% off your purchase!
I can't recall how I found Ivy Court but I'd been following them on social media for quite some time. When they announced they were opening in Grandview I was so excited! I checked out the store at the grand opening and it is gorgeous!
Featuring not only a plant wall but also a potting wall and tables. They have great home goods, gifts, even clothing and a couple of local makers including Olive Roots Candles.
A local shop that supports local? You know I'm in now!
The space is huge and begs for a spot to bring your laptop, Stauf’s coffee and just hang in the beauty. (Hey guys, can I do that?!)
This is one of my favorite shops, you must stop by. You'll find amazing gifts, I promise!

It's a plant wall!!

People love experiences and a class with Kara at Good Dea Glass Company is just that. I had never done anything with stained glass before and now I am the proud owner of a stained-glass piece. I love it and can't wait to get back!
Your family member that has everything? This would be such a great gift.

Complete Fitness &
Performance
I started working with Chris at CFP years ago for small group training. I was surprised by how much I liked it, and how much my body changed. This gym is easy in every way other than the workout. It is approachable, community focused and supportive. There is also a great mix of both women and men.
This is another terrific experiential gift for those that love them. A consultation and training session with Chris would be a terrific gift!

@foxinthesnowcafe
I am lucky to call this simple but beautiful cafe local. I spend at least one morning a week working here, for a good change of scenery and to enjoy the best latte around.
As the holidays approach snag some amazing pastries to take to friends’ or when you have guests. I couldn't love this spot more!
