The Autumn Almanac

Considered gifts for the season, drawn entirely from the brands featured in Volume I. Prices are as listed by each brand at the time of writing.

A good gift carries its maker's intelligence into someone else's home. Every object here comes from a brand we have written about in this issue, so each one arrives with its story already told. Some links may earn us a small commission; it never decides what appears.
