As the Lifestyle Director for Kitchn (and previously, a Market Editor for various national food magazines), I spend most of my summers going from holiday preview to holiday preview. In June, July, and August stores like Target, MoMA, and Williams Sonoma hold events for the media to come and see all the fun products that will hit shelves in time for the holiday season. August is also when I make the trek to the Javits Center for a giant gift show. And I spend a decent amount of time meeting with smaller websites and stores, too.

Sometimes it’s the stuff from these smaller shops and makers that I love the most. I’m talking about handcrafted goodies or cute finds that are simply just not mass produced. They’re usually the sorts of gifts that top my wish list, so this year I wanted to round them all up in one place.

These are the 25 gifts from independent shops and makers that I’m coveting this season.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
