Thoughtful, useful gifts printed with original watercolor art, for teachers, hostesses, neighbors, coworkers, and everyone in between.
Every December, the list seems to grow. The teacher. The neighbor who shovels your walk. The hostess of the cookie exchange. The coworker who always remembers your birthday.
These are the people who deserve something better than a gift card, but the budget only stretches so far.
That is exactly why we love small gifts. Each one below is printed with Alla's original watercolor paintings, made to be used every day, and priced under $25. Many are under $10.
