As a team in the business of warmth, we have a special soft spot for this time of year—when the days turn chilly, the nights turn extra cozy, and heated furniture becomes a daily ritual.
This season, we asked our team to share their favorite things (besides heated furniture) from small, independent brands whose craft, care, and creativity make winter feel even warmer. From handmade ceramics to small-batch treats, these are the pieces bringing us joy right now.
Behold, the G&J Holiday 2025 Gift Guide—a celebration of warmth, comfort, and thoughtful makers.
