Summer is just around the corner, and we're welcoming it with sunscreened arms (and a refreshed gift lineup). We're talking polarized shades made for adventure, a picnic basket that's equal parts practical and chic, and a birding card deck because maybe, just maybe, this is the summer they become a birder.

Whether you're sending something to celebrate a milestone, welcome a new employee, or just show a little appreciation, you can preview some of the latest and greatest additions to our marketplace below, along with a couple of new product features we’re excited about.

1. The Beginner Birder's Deck

Know someone who lights up at the sight of a bird outside their window? This beautifully illustrated card deck — created by wildlife biologist Danielle Belleny — makes it genuinely fun to learn what you're looking at. Forty full-color illustrated cards, a double-sided poster, and a keepsake magnetic box make this one of those gifts that's as lovely to display as it is to use.

About the Brand: Hachette Book Group is one of the world's largest trade publishers, home to an impressively wide range of books, gift titles, calendars, and more. They publish everything from award-winning picture books to beautifully illustrated gift sets — and a roster of authors that includes Malcolm Gladwell, James Patterson, and David Sedaris. If it's thoughtfully made and worth reading (or gifting), there's a good chance HBG had a hand in it.

2. CAMP Topo Sunglasses

These are the sunglasses you reach for on every kind of day — farmers market mornings, road trips, long walks with nowhere to be. The retro silhouette is timeless, the polarized lenses are genuinely great, and they're made with eco-conscious materials that feel as good as they look. Lightweight, flattering, and built to keep up with you.

About the Brand: Founded in Portland in 2009, CAMP Eyewear set out to do something different with eyewear — blending natural materials like wood, stone, and plant-based bioplastics with modern design that actually holds up outdoors. They're as committed to the planet as they are to the craft, donating a portion of proceeds to nonprofits supporting nature and conservation. Basically, good sunglasses with a good conscience.

3. Daily Moments Hourglass

Three minutes doesn't sound like much — until you flip this little hourglass and actually give yourself three minutes. Use it to steep your tea, step away from your screen, or just breathe. It's a small, beautiful nudge toward the kind of pause we all keep meaning to take.

About the Brand: Space of Time was founded by friends Isabella and Stephanie with a simple idea: that small, intentional rituals can genuinely change how a day feels. Their tools and objects are designed to slow things down and bring a little more presence into the everyday. Think of them as the brand that makes mindfulness feel approachable — and actually pretty.

4. IÓ Essential Minerals Mist

IÓ is a trace mineral mist packed with over 77 minerals your skin recognizes and absorbs instantly. Spritz after cleansing, between steps, or anytime your skin needs to come back to life. No synthetic fillers. No empty moisture. Just pure, concentrated mineral nutrition that leaves your skin glowing, calm, and deeply fed.

About the Brand: KLEOS + KLEA is a clean, plant-based skincare brand rooted in nutritional science, founded on the belief that skin should be nourished the same way as the body. Using whole, organic plant ingredients, each formula delivers essential phytonutrients—vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids—to address imbalances at the source and restore natural vitality. With a focused, minimalist system, KLEOS + KLEA supports healthy, resilient, and radiant skin through the power of real, living nutrients.

5. Hand Printed Napkins

These napkins are the kind of thing that makes an ordinary Tuesday dinner feel a little more considered. Hand-printed on natural flour sack cotton with earth-friendly ink, each set of four is slightly unique — because that's just what happens when something is made by hand. Casual enough for everyday, cute enough to bring out when company's coming.

About the Brand: Bright Beige is a New York-based design studio founded by Amy Fierro in the Catskill Mountains, where she makes small-batch, hand-printed linens that manage to feel both playful and refined. Her work is rooted in a genuine love of hospitality, printmaking, and the little details that make a gathering feel special. Every piece is made in-house, with care — and it shows.

6. Insulated Picnic Basket

Part practical, part statement piece — this picnic basket means business. Woven raffia and vegan leather on the outside, insulated food-safe lining on the inside, with gold finishing and a sturdy carry strap to pull it all together. Whether you're headed to the park or the beach, this is the kind of basket that makes the whole outing feel like an occasion.

About the Brand: Jackie Crowe designs outdoor entertaining pieces for people who think the details matter — even (especially) outside. Her Picnic Collection is PETA-Approved Vegan and made with consciously sourced materials, because looking good and doing good shouldn't be mutually exclusive. Equal parts elegant and free-spirited, it's a brand that genuinely believes every gathering deserves a little intention.
