The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{gift guide} Late Summer Nautical

All of a sudden, I’m realizing that summer is almost over!  How did the season go by so quickly??  Fortunately for us, we still have the rest of August to slow down and enjoy to the fullest!  In honor of late summer, I’ve compiled a nautical-inspired gift guide…maybe you have a friend who could use a little surprise on her doorstep?

1. Vintage Binoculars: $18
2. Braided Rope Bracelet: $16.50
3. Red Anchor Stationary (set of 6 cards and envelopes): $7.50
4. 12×24″ Whale Linen Blend Pillow: $22
5. Set of Four Small Monkey’s Fist Knots: $15

A few ideas:
  • For your vintage-loving or thrifty friend: The vintage binoculars would be fun to display atop a bunch of navy/blue books.  Maybe you have a favorite book to share or you could even hit up Goodwill and pick up a few (peel back those dust jackets and see what you can find!).  
  • Send a long-distance friend or relative the gorgeous stationary with a new pen and stamps.  Great idea to start a pen-pal relationship!
  • The bracelet would make a great gift for a tween/teen in your life.  Maybe a back-to-school present?  
  • For that decorating-obsessed friend: The whale pillow is unique and the small knots would make an awesome bowl or glass vase filler.
