[@Daphnehardy]

hands down the best and most unique gift guide I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@wasselpa]

:)

[@brookevoltattorni3108]

literally

[@yeetping6563]

This is probably one of my favorite gift guide vids I’ve ever watched. But also on a really important note, Wing On Wo & Co is Chinese not Japanese! All their ceramics are really great quality Chinese porcelaine with Qing dynasty-based design! They’ve been here for 5 generations now and is actually the oldest continuously operating store in Manhattan Chinatown :) They’re an active figure in the Chinatown community, so I just thought the distinction was important.

[@daphne5693]

"a little bit more on the pricy side" *shows a picture of a plate that is literally $400*

[@evarottmann445]

Just FYI wing on wo and co is Chinese dishware not Japanese. Love your vids and this guide is awesome!

[@wasselpa]

uhg I know, i corrected in the description below!

[@jasdancer20]

Was coming here to say this!! No shade at all to paige, this is a general point- Japanese aesthetic is and has been really trendy so I've noticed that a lot ppl who find (non-japanese) asian items that are "cool" quickly assume it to be Japanese 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@forestgreene1771]

yes! and a great business to support as its one of the oldest in NYC Chinatown!

[@shawnbesabella]

Those Japanese shade lamps are something I never knew I needed! The tulip one is adorable.

[@ttjnaaa]

A vase for 430 bucks is not "more on the pricier side", it's expensive.

[@Seramoonn]

right like i was about to say......

[@allihagen1180]

fr

[@stone301]

lol who can afford to gift a friend a 430$ vase 😂 can’t even afford that for me

[@TangoTangerine12]

this is amazing!!! Literally obsessed with every single thing you recommended - is there any way you could do a more price friendly version for a broke college girl?

[@sana-ly6by]

yes! i know it’s important to support small businesses but most of these are incredibly expensive :(

[@seallofapproval]

100%!! these are so cool and love to see small business get the promo, but defo not in my budget

[@i3mma]

Can we get a bonus video ? About christmas decor inspo 🎄🤩

[@theodorasingeractor]

Yessssss would love that

[@em84c]

Paige doesn't seem the type to do Christmas decor.

[@i3mma]

@@em84c Lets hope she does like christmas :)

[@no.2363]

Those “Japanese” tableware are Chinese. Most of the floral patterns are from the Qing dynasty.

[@laurenjersey8279]

Would love another one of these approaching the 2022 Holiday season but all under $100!

[@qlrxj]

hey paige! i'm not sure if this idea has been brought up before but being from chicago, it would be really cool if you did a video on your favorite cafes/restaurants in the city to go to based on their interior design (and hopefully good enough food too LOL)

[@carolynwu5869]

Second this!

[@TangoTangerine12]

yes please!

[@cocteautwin]

second this as someone who lives near chi and is planning on visiting soon :)

[@maren9426]

this called me POOR in so many languages, but good for you, if you can afford it!

[@tomhuijben1073]

love this!! could be cool if you post this type of video throughout the year! birthdays are always good gift moments (or why not gifts to yourself 😮‍💨) and I can’t get enough of your style!

[@carlawilson5555]

Space Oddities is a good small business in Chicago to support. Really good place to find gifts for your astrology loving friend. Also they have artworks from small indie artists.

[@meh5069]

I love Matilda goad!

[@keg2140]

Uhhhh can you do a version of cool gifts for people who aren’t chill with spending 150$ on a candle or 100$ on a picture frame?? 😳 😬 i shop on Etsy religiously because I love shopping small businesses and getting unique items but some of these prices just ain’t it

[@wasselpa]

oooo yes! maybe gifts ideas for under $30

[@wasselpa]

on it

[@keg2140]

@@wasselpa and this is why I love your channel so much. U rock! 🙌🏼

[@kathale755]

The best gift guide I've seen this year! Shoutout to a few more Chicago spots on par with this list: RSVP Gallery (upscale streetwear and hard-to-find limited edition stuff), Humboldt House (gorgeous curated collection of home goods and decor), and Epic Spices (a tiny little shop on W Chicago Ave with 500+ spices, great gifts for adventurous cooks).

[@wasselpa]

thank you!!

[@ashleyrose1840]

As someone who has a free roaming bunny, I have had to really get creative with covering cords. He’s super good about not chewing on everything but lamps is the one thing I’ve struggled with. I’ve had to strategically place my floor lamp which has worked fine, but table lamps is what I struggle with. I’ve been trying to figure out how I’ll be able to have a little table lamp on my entryway table or somewhere where it wouldn’t be as easy to hide a cord. These little battery operated lamps are so cute and I swear are the nicest looking ones I’ve seen because usually they look like childrens night lights. These ones look pretty stylish and sophisticated considering they’re battery operated. Thanks so much for sharing these. I definitely need one.

[@enjoyjavy]

Those are really good ideas! Besides cool mugs, if they are coffee lovers, something to spice up their coffee routine will make it as well 🙌

[@marisapanzarella1777]

Paige, I'm just.... obsessed with your videos. I truly look forward to them so much. Thanks for being such a tasteful queen

[@wasselpa]

you’re so nice! thank you!!

[@ellesoho2615]

Wow really awesome gift guide. Haven’t seen one that’s this cool and focused on small brands. Usually gift guides are a bit basic like here’s a magnolia coffee table book 🎁 but, on the other hand, maybe this wasn’t such a good thing as I now have a $186 candle in my cart that I shall never burn???

[@wasselpa]

hahahahah that candle must never be touched

[@ximenamaldonadomayans655]

Jesus i’m broke, literally just seeing the prices gave me anxiety and i’m sad now, i wish i could afford anything you recommended bc it looks cool lol

[@noarjustin]

ugh love Matilda Goad, cant wait for that video.

[@sandysutube63]

Paige “Jonna Jinton” is an awesome artist and makes wonderful KZbin videos of her life in Sweden. Such an inspiring life she lives and shares with us. You have to watch her videos. She also has wonderful art she makes and sells. She and her husband sell their hand crafted gorgeous jewelry too.💫✨💗

[@MeEmma123]

Best gift guide ever hands down

[@kaitlynlindsey3035]

Honestly, you should write a book! That would be my ideal coffee table book.

[@bcpop_]

Sofar is the absolute best date idea, hands down. I’ve been a few times and loved every experience

[@kibsey11]

I'm sorry but that horse plate does not have $400 worth of craftsmanship put into it. Just my opinion...

[@jamalrana8504]

I just bought the Kutsurogu lamp but in the seashell. What a beautiful unique piece.

[@wasselpa]

omg yay!

[@lila3372]

I got the little ball and will likely get the mushroom too. He's so overwhelmed with orders now 💌

[@katarinavlogs]

Love Sofar Sounds! Such fun concerts, love the idea of taking someone to one as a gift!

[@forestgreene1771]

Joe Freshgoods is pretty known in streetwear! I think Fat Tiger Works and COE are either co-owned or affiliated with him. Love how his work always returns to showing his love for the city and his community, while still making it accessible to everybody.

[@nadinesilversparrow996]

I found so much stuff, for so many people in my life this truly is a list of cool things. I'm totally getting myself a tomato lamp from that esty shop because tomatoes are my fav 🍅✨❤️

[@wasselpa]

YES THE TOMATO LAMP!

[@bijoubijou7500]

I can't wait for a feature on Matilda Goad!

[@sashac7002]

Hey, just a heads up, it'd be great if you do this a little earlier in the year next year, bc Diwali and Hanukkah are already over. But noting some of these for next year!

[@annabelvickers8455]

My boyfriend got me a sub to Apartamento 3 years ago and it truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

[@darcybaker7545]

Thank you! You helped me get gifts for my favorite people who are always hard to buy for. So happy to find smaller shops who collaborate with and feature artists.

[@wasselpa]

Yay!

[@Sarahbethpenn]

Thank you for the Sofar recommendation. I’m moving to Boston in two weeks and this will be an awesome way to meet new people. I hope.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I love Sofar Sounds! Went to one in San Francisco as an anniversary date and it was such a great time.

[@cmfreako234]

Correction - Wong on Wo and Co sells Chinese ceramics, not Japanese. They’re one of the oldest stores in Manhattan Chinatown.

[@wasselpa]

Gah! I know, my mistake. I corrected in the description :)

[@dreamskeepmesane]

Paige you rly have the best taste omg. This makes me excited to do holiday shopping yay

[@londonsars0234]

This is awesome! I live in Rockford currently, but am hoping to move to Chicago in the next year or so. It is so rare to see an interesting and stylish person based out of Chicago. All I typically see are white marble aesthetics with basic decor. You have introduced me to so many cool brands, and I am constantly adding bits and bobs around my apartment. I find myself utilizing many tips on doing decor differently than the typical person. I used to believe that to open a space, everything had to be white with pops of color in the decor, but I think it is awesome to do a bold and dark room as long as it is done properly now. You have given me much more of a creative voice! P.S. I love that you promoted Sofar sounds, those sessions are extraordinary and I was actually considering getting tickets to the next one. Thank you! Loved this video!

[@mariposa1933]

I love things that aren’t typical and THIS was a great list! Thanks soo much! 🎄🎄🎄🙏🏽♥️🌹

[@A.T.0s]

Can’t wait to see your jewelry/style video! You have a great eye for styling 😀

[@cassidy7372]

i mean this as a compliment, i get new york vibes for you

[@hs2874]

I love the indie band tshirts on dothenihil

[@chichiblanchett6367]

I screamed when u said you were doing a video on Matilda Goad

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

Good one, thanks. And the baby is so sweet.

[@BH-st2dq]

actually the best gift guide i've seen

[@xDavidWallerx]

I'm from Cleveland and this video was so cool and inspiring, I really want to go to Chicago now to check out txa txa club seems like a really unique experience! Parlor also might be getting a try because they have some gorgeous art!

[@heyustabbedme]

Wing on Wo and Co is Chinese btw not japanese

[@sophiefarq]

Would love to see a video of how you decorate your home for the holidays!! 🙏

[@michelle.doesthings]

Loooove Sofar Sounds!!! Went right before Covid started in Boston it was amazing.

[@michelec7247]

This was amazing! I would love to see a video on your favourite Etsy shops. Those lamps are so cool but I can never find stuff I like with the search function.

[@jenniferclyde8911]

holy crap I’m about to buy so many things from wing on so and co. these are all such great shops!!

[@nadinetonn5196]

Paige Wassel, I love your channel thing. It's seriously the best. Please do more. XN🍅

[@hmh4951]

Oh hell yes. Although a few of those I feel possessive of and don’t want too many ppl knowing about. Def gatekeeping in some cases.

[@anoushagaiapeters2787]

i want to see a day in the life of The Goo pleeeeeaassee

[@styleago-go3028]

This is awesome! So much better than most of the redundant lists out there. I have so many cool new sites/shops to follow now.

[@joannecatherinegabl1913]

Loved this! I live in Elburn near Geneva so love the suggestions within the area near Chicago. Check out Up North (wine) in Geneva next time you're around.

[@alexisbayne]

Please do one of these videos again! ❤

[@Faile]

Those gifts were rad. I wish they were available in Europe, but what's new?

[@zhumi12345]

Immaculate taste, bookmarked everything. Subbed!

[@wasselpa]

[@cindy8205]

[@quinnmccandless]

the only thing you talked about that I had heard of/experienced was the Sofar concerts lol; definitely cool small businesses represented throughout this vid

[@CharlotteHardacre]

WWPD? She would ask, is it unique though? Loved these recommendations - this channel is really helping me improve my taste!

[@alessia8276]

These are such cool und unique ideas! Sadly they are too expensive for me but it's still nice to look at the websites!!

[@gwynethcordero8277]

[@sahkanoodo]

[@MaiAmezquita]

The candles 😍😍😍

[@atimeswimmer]

THANK YOU. literally the coolest things ever!

[@tpolly480]

Can you react to Vanessa Hudgens house on architect Digest?

[@Sonyash26]

this radicalised me

[@oceanandhills661]

found this channel, tot my style is boring and old 🤧 thanks Paige! you light me up 💖

[@annemarit21]

A wonky blotchy horse on a plate for $350,- JESUS. I'm poor (but it's kinda cute)

[@MajesticleLauryn]

like THE best gift guide!!

[@RA-ex7ir]

she giving cara delevingne vibes and i am here for it

[@omgmakeup21]

paige!!! this was perfect thank you!

[@lilyardalan8812]

Sofar sounds drastically underpays their artists :( finding local venues and picking a show to go to is a more local-artist-friendly gift/date night idea!

[@Maddie-qb8qg]

KZbin algorithm doesn’t know that my budget is $20

[@victoriafitoussi]

How do you find all your Etsy finds? I find it overwhelming!

[@jasdancer20]

Omg same. I find etsy ta be such an unenjoyable and overwhelming shopping platform

[@Anna-rx1od]

Incredible cute and unique things!!

[@JasmynIsNotOk]

Love videos like this!!

[@Zoe-qu4hn]

I love sofar sounds

[@Munahidfrommars]

Getting all these for myself 😚

[@cassidyfromtexas4324]

Great selection! I’ve tried colorful and cutesy and finally had to accept that it’s just not me lol black on black 🖤

[@samanthalw1306]

Always so impressed by your videos Paige. Im now tempted to create a list of gift ideas from local (New Zealand) brands for my friends!

[@cartercain6284]

love these small shops!! super cute ideas

[@celinegucciprada]

the way she says apartamento lol

[@aaronrdomanais]
