Holiday Gifts

Holiday Gifts

The season's most meaningful moments deserve holiday gifts that feel as considered as the people receiving them. At Small Batch, every piece in our holiday collection is chosen from artisan makers and small-batch brands - candles, pantry gifts, ceramics, and curated gift boxes that bring warmth, craft, and genuine intention to every occasion on your list.

There's a particular kind of pressure that arrives with the season - the feeling that a gift should say something meaningful, but the options in front of you feel anything but. It's the moment you're standing in a crowded store or scrolling past the same mass-produced items and thinking: there has to be something better than this. That's exactly why Small Batch exists, and it's exactly what our holiday collection is built to solve.

Holiday Gift Ideas That Begin With Intention, Not a List

Every piece we carry comes from a small-batch producer, an independent artisan, or a maker with a story worth telling. Our holiday gift ideas aren't assembled from a catalog - they're curated season by season, chosen for craft, beauty, and the way they make a recipient feel when they open them. From handcrafted candles and North Carolina pantry items to Vietri ceramics and cozy throws, the collection is designed to hold up at every price point and every occasion on your list. Browse our full range of gift boxes to see how we build complete presents around a single theme.

Holiday Gift Sets for Everyone on Your List

The hardest part of holiday gifting isn't the budget - it's the range. The person who has everything. The host you've never met. The colleague you don't know well enough. The client you want to impress without overstepping. Our holiday gift sets are built for exactly this range of relationships, with curated options that work whether you're shopping for a close friend or a first-year client.

For the women on your list who love a beautifully styled home, our collection touches every corner of the house - artisan barware, cocktail napkins, decorative pillows and throws, and small-batch candles that anchor a room. For men, our coffee lover gifts and pantry collections make a strong impression without guessing at taste. Pieces like the Rewined Candles - crafted in wine bottles and finished with signature scents - make the kind of gift that gets talked about at the party, not forgotten after it.

• Holiday hostess gifts: A small-batch candle paired with a set of linen cocktail napkins is one of the most-used combinations we offer - beautiful enough to display, practical enough to use the same evening.
• Holiday gifts for her: Vietri ceramics, curated self-care gifts, and artisan home pieces chosen from makers who care as much about packaging as the product itself.
• Holiday gifts for him: Gourmet pantry items, Carolina Coffee Co. roasts, barware, and curated gift boxes that lean toward taste and craft rather than novelty.
• Gifts for the person who has everything: Our personalized gifts and monogrammed pieces stand apart precisely because they can't be found anywhere else.

Corporate Holiday Gifts and Holiday Gifts for Employees Done Right

For business professionals in real estate, banking, insurance, and legal, the holiday season brings an entirely different kind of gifting pressure - one measured in client relationships and team culture. Generic gifts get noticed for the wrong reasons. Our corporate holiday gifts are built for the alternative: curated, branded, and coordinated at scale without losing the personal touch that makes a gift land.

We work with businesses to coordinate holiday gifts for employees and client lists from one recipient to dozens - curating the right pieces, adding branded packaging or handwritten notes, and shipping to multiple addresses. Whether you're sending a closing gift to a real estate client, a year-end thank-you to a referral source, or a coordinated holiday gift to your full team, our luxury corporate gifts collection is built around the same artisan-made quality we bring to every personal order. Browse our corporate gift baskets for ready-to-send options that arrive looking exactly as considered as the relationship behind them.

The Let's Celebrate Gift Box and the Pizza Night set are two of our most-requested options for corporate holiday lists - approachable enough for any recipient, well-made enough to reflect your brand. Call us at 252-631-3315 and our team will help you build a program that works for your list and your timeline.

Holiday Presents From North Carolina, Chosen With Care

Small Batch was founded in New Bern, NC in 2017 by Shannon LuQuire, whose nearly 30 years of design experience shapes every decision we make - from which makers we partner with to how a gift looks when it's unwrapped. That background isn't incidental to the holiday collection; it's the reason it looks and feels the way it does.

Our holiday presents carry the character of makers who pour real craft into their work - North Carolina artisans, independent candle makers, small-batch pantry producers, and ceramic artists whose pieces can't be found on Amazon or in chain stores. When you give something from Small Batch, the story behind it is part of the gift. Explore our Christmas gifts and Christmas gift baskets for the full seasonal range, or browse our gifts under $50 for curated options at any scale.

Every gift leaves our shop wrapped in signature packaging with a handwritten note - because the way a gift arrives is part of what makes it memorable. That attention to detail, from the maker to the moment of opening, is what holiday gift baskets from Small Batch are built on. We've done the hunting so you don't have to - and everything you find here is already the best of what's out there.
