One of our favorite little gifts? An iron-on patch tucked inside a tote, zipper pouch or a sweatshirt. We also love using them to give last year's backpacks a fresh look instead of buying new ones.
They're an easy way to personalize backpacks, jackets, hats, tote bags, and just about anything that could use a little extra character.
Variety of designs including "Wild," "Western at Heart," and more.
Iron-on application makes it easy to personalize your clothing and accessories. I use super glue to adhere them sometimes. Just my tip and trick.
Durable embroidery ensures long-lasting quality and vibrant colors.
When I started adding more gift options to GWJ, fun socks were immediately on my mind — but only the kind that actually feel good to wear. Soft cotton, cozy enough for everyday life, and with a little personality to them too.
I love these for their floral checkered pattern and rich colors, but even more for how comfortable they are. They’re the kind of small everyday item that somehow makes getting dressed a little more fun.
Perfect for gifting — or keeping for yourself.
Why you’ll love them:
• Made with 90% cotton for a soft, breathable feel
• Stretchy and comfortable without feeling too tight
• Mid-calf fit that pairs well with sneakers, loafers, or cozy days at home
• A fun, unexpected touch to everyday outfits

In the wake of the chaos and heartbreak that Hurricane Helene left behind in regions like Western North Carolina, I wanted to offer a way for us all to make a difference. I’ve created a special heart pin, and for every one sold, $3 will go directly to supporting families affected by the storm. Plus, this week, 10% of all sales will benefit Blue Ridge Waymakers as they work tirelessly to serve those impacted - including the sale of the pin too! .
Here’s how you can help spread love and hope:
Buy a Pin for Yourself – Wear this pin as a reminder that love and community can rebuild what’s been lost. Each purchase will help provide direct support to families in need.
Gift a Pin to Someone in WNC – Want to make it personal? You can purchase a pin for a family in WNC affected by the storm. Blue Ridge Waymakers will include the pin in their care packages for us.
Your kindness will touch families who will be navigating the aftermath of this disaster for months, maybe even years to come. A small gesture like this can help them rebuild their lives, both physically and emotionally.
We can’t undo what’s happened, but together, we can be part of the healing. Thank you for being someone who brings hope in tough times. ❤️

You have two options in dropdown menu. You can either purchase for you to wear and gift, or you can can send one to WNC families in care packages Blue Ridge Waymakers curate. The difference is in the card backing (see photos) and where I send them to.

*thrifted with joy: Games
In our house, we never say no to a good game night — the easier to play (and laugh over), the better! I’m always on the lookout for family favorites, gift-worthy gems, and games that level up your at-home arcade.
Each one has been thoughtfully thrifted — I double-check that all the pieces are there and that it’s in like-new shape — so you can play (or gift) without breaking the bank. Because game night should be full of fun, not full of missing pieces!
Game Details
Sling Puck – Our family favorite because it’s quick, competitive, and easy to play. (Fun fact: My 5-year-old somehow beats me every time!) This one is always out for Arcade Night at Home. Retails for $30+ new, but this one is thrifted brand new for you to enjoy.
Smart Labs Air Hockey Kit – Need a gift for a brilliant kid? This is it! A brand-new kit that retails around $25—thrifted and unopened, just with a slightly loved box.
Basketball Hoop – Brand new, never played, but definitely not at the $32 price tag! This game is a family favorite of mine, and it’s become a friendly competition for my husband and me too.

These cosmos seeds come from flowers I’ve been growing and saving for the past few years here in Colorado. Last garden season, my then 5-year-old became my little garden helper, and I watched how much joy he found in collecting the dried blooms to save seeds for the next year and to share with others.
That’s where the idea for the garden with joy collection began — simple, homegrown goodness meant to be planted, shared, and enjoyed.
Each packet includes approximately 30 purple + white cosmos seeds. Easy to grow, beautiful in bouquets, and loved by pollinators.
