GET COZY
LEISURE & JOIE HOLIDAY EDIT
wind down
The days are shorter and with that, you may have started wearing layers, craving soup more often, or going out a little less than just a few weeks prior.
Though technically, we’re only a few weeks into fall, you may be at the beginning of a self-imposed hibernation / cocooning stage. The weather alone lately has made wanting to be inside much more appealing, and getting cozy - a top priority.
“…THE RIPENESS OF AUTUMN FILLS THE AIR, AND TIME IS QUIET AND MELLOW.”
Invite a higher level of comfort into your space and daily routine this season by:
dimming your room lights by a certain hour/dining by candlelight
setting out throw blankets for the perfect night in
bringing a bit of nature inside with fresh flowers to display
lighting the fireplace and read or do a puzzle in the warm setting
wearing cozy slippers and a comfortable robe around the house
Fall is certainly a good time of year to take your self-care to the next level and that includes your health and wellness!
With less daylight, make sure you’re actively getting some sort of movement and time in the sun.
We ALL need Vitamin D!
At LEISURE & JOIE, we believe the intention behind giving is what gives a gift value.
Since the inception of LEISURE & JOIE, we have committed to offering you our curated collection of practical, high-quality, self-care centric, design-inspired items that are highly suitable for gifting year-round, and especially so, during the holiday season.
Gifting self-care in the form of well-designed, high-quality products with actual practical applications, is a sure way to be a thoughtful gift giver.
Our products work well in tandem, and as you shop for someone else, you might even find a little something for yourself.
When you’re not sure what someone would like, don’t believe the naysayers, gift cards are NOT a “cop out”. They are actually a great way to show someone you care, while giving them the freedom to explore and select items that speak uniquely to them.
“LIFE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN IT GETS CRISP IN THE FALL.”
less is best
In a season where MORE is MORE… it is also a great time to consider donating/selling clothing/household items that are in good condition, but are no longer of use.
Decluttering can truly help you feel clear, centered, and comfortable in your own space, especially when you realize you may end up overextending yourself with extracurriculars, once the holiday season is in full swing (despite your best efforts).
Rearrange the furniture in your home, add art, nuture your plants.
Believe it or not, we believe having LESS is best. When you’re not bogged down by things, you can be at ease and can focus on the people and things that are important to you.
This is exactly why we believe in considering the practical value of having an item. Does it bring you joy? Will you use it often? Does it compliment your décor?
These are all things to consider when holiday shopping.
“IF A YEAR WAS TUCKED INSIDE OF A CLOCK, THEN AUTUMN WOULD BE THE MAGIC HOUR.”
joy of giving
We are aware, especially as an online shop, that the true value of gifting lies in the actual ACT of giving, versus the item(s) itself.
A lot of times, too much emphasis and pressure is put on having to get every single person you know a gift, which can make NOT doing so a much more simple and appealing option.
Considering the wants and needs of another person is a self-less act that, ultimately, also makes the giver feel good.
Giving is good for everyone involved.
LIVE & SHOP WELL
LIVE & SHOP WELL
If you are in a giving mood, (and we hope you are) we encourage shopping EARLY.
We’re all about doing things in a way that brings ease and joy, not stress and frantic energy.
We do our best to live by that measure, too, so we’re getting Studio Joie “holiday ready” for the time of year that’s filled with a whirlwind of orders for the holiday season!
We’re so GRATEFUL!
We expect to have all of our Holiday Shipping Deadline details out (sooner, if possible, and) no later than by Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024.
Please note, to avoid implementing additional fees per order, gift orders are not gift-wrapped but shipped to the recipient in the usual method.
If you would like to gift wrap the items for the recipient, we suggest shopping EARLY and having the order shipped directly to you.
