\u201cWhat if we were field mice, and were friends with frogs, and we wore flower petal hats and drank tea out of acorns and hid under mushrooms when it rains?\u201d Is the kind of thing your cottagecore friend thinks sounds idyllic.  Unfortunately we can\u2019t forage for everything, so here are a few cute ideas to help bring the wild right to your friend\u2019s doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are many of my favorite gifts that I either received as a cottage core lover myself, or gave to my (mainly rural) cottage core friends. You will notice one particular trend through all my posts… I never get tired of gifting mugs! But I also like other practical (and some not as much .. haha) gifts such as light sources, cross body bags and messenger totes- there are even some interesting indoor plant growing options! Scroll through to find out more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t a drink on earth that won\u2019t taste better to your cottagecore friend, if they are sipping out of one of these. Food tastes better while camping, and tea tastes better this way- trust me on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I managed to refrain from including nothing but owls in this post- and I\u2019m still not sure it\u2019s a good thing.\u00a0 This vendor, the Chala brand- has a great selection of quality owl bags varying primarily in size and pricing. Each bag also comes in other colors and designs, including llamas, dolphins, flowers, penguins, pandas, sloths, lady bugs\u2026 even some dinosaurs and a unicorn!! I love this brand, I bought a shoulder bag with a mama bear and a baby bear (which may already be sold out- watch for it to come back,) as well as one of their sunflower keychains for my best friend (and infant’s namesake.) They are also made of ethical but quality faux leather which is always a bonus in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your cottagecore friend wrote all those love letters and missives to friends, they realized they needed a way to ensure the envelopes weren\u2019t tampered with before they sent them off via carrier pigeon (USPS in a pinch.)\u00a0 And what better way than to provide them with some lovely wax seal stampers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wooden fox journal may be just the thing your cottagecore friend needs to best chronicle their adventures. I love that the material is biodegradable, and the abstract yet cute fox design. I would pair this gift with some other writing related gifts, such as this fountain\/quill pen set. If you’ve never tried a fountain pen- please do. They are smooth, fun and are sure to add that spot of whimsy to your cottage core friend’s letter writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got these tiny silver bird earrings for christmas from my mother in law, and I absolutely adore them.\u00a0 They were a wink at my chosen name, Ren (which of course sounds like Wren) but I also just love the cottage core style and the delicacy of them. They would make either a high end stocking stuffer, or a really affordable gift.\u00a0 Highly recommend either way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it a cherry blossom lamp? Is it a fairies-disguised-as-cherry-blossoms lamp? You decide.\u00a0 Either way, this lamp will grace your cottagecore friend\u2019s bedside table, desk or book nook with warm inviting light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s not leave leafy greens out of your cottagecore friend\u2019s potential home grown garden.\u00a0 This mini indoor hydroponics kit with a full spectrum lamp will have their indoor herb garden thriving. This seems like high tech, higher end gift, yet it has a seriously affordable price tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your cottagecore friend didn\u2019t know they needed succulent themed measuring spoons in their own measuring cup flower pot, so it\u2019s a good thing you were looking out for them. Really though, how could anyone resist? I already have a set, and I’m always scheming for whom I could give a set to. I especially love these for smaller kitchens, where your cooking utensils are usually out and should therefore double as decor. Bonus points if your friend actually likes to cook of course…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Baking, gardening, frolicking through dew drop beladen woods\u2026 all activities your cottagecore friend may need an apron for.\u00a0 We\u2019re reclaiming home making, and aprons along with it. We might as well look good while we are doing it, with this beautiful cyan hydrangea piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same indoor garden vein- we have this lovely mushroom growing kit. Maybe your cottage core friend is not quite ready for foraging- that\u2019s ok! They can safely grow edible mushrooms with this outside-the-box mushroom growing kit. Who knows, maybe they will even cook some for you. Getting all 3 varieties will cost you a little more, at around 75. This is a higher end gift for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How cute is this kitty cat mug? Must I say more? Hot drinks are mandatory especially during the cold months, and contrary to popular belief your cottage core friend will need a lot of different potential containers to hold them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

One more mug and then I’ll stop… For now. >:) The best mugs have the right shape, volume and heft- all while being cute and uplifting.\u00a0 Plus this watercolor hummingbird evokes a sense of energy- something your cottagecore friend needs every now and then when forced to contend with the industrialized world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your cottage core friend’s walls aren’t bedecked in bees, how will they be able to see? You probably want more than one strand as each isn’t very long. They work in or out of doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, hear me out.\u00a0 Have you ever used a stuffy like this as a pillow? They are actually unrivaled. If you didn\u2019t know seals and selkies were cottagecore, now you do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No cottagecore list would be complete without a fuzzy blanket- my favorite is this mushroom patterned flannel, but there is a fox one and even a moth one (if you\u2019re into that sort of thing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who said your yard couldn\u2019t look cute while we are saving the bees?\u00a0 Not us, that\u2019s for sure.\u00a0 This artsy bee and insect home will help preserve the ecosystem while looking sweet and somewhat formidable- things your cottagecore friend definitely aspires to be. BEWARE: this item is definitely not for those with trypophobia. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
