The ending of the year is a lovely time to take a deep breath and reflect on the experiences that have passed before we rush to move forward into yet another new year. The theme this year is family.

We share the history of leathercrafting in helping veterans cope with PTSD and tell you about Help Heal Vets, a wonderful organization distributing free craft kits to veterans.

As travelers ourselves, we know what you want: functional, organizational little things to help you with your gear, and conversation-starting, long wait in the train station boredom-eliminating, lightweight and small, classic travel games. Also with a monogramming option to prevent theft.

The hot toddy is our favorite holiday winter warmer: a warm, soothing, and spiced whiskey drink. Here we share the basics for making your own and share three different recipes from everyone in the Walnut Studiolo family.

Classic game lovers can be hard to shop for because it seems like they've already got one of everything. But we've got ideas to make you the gift-giving hero and give them something unique: quality pocket-sized games, unique artist-made games, and personalized games with a monogram.

For families, friends and couples that play cribbage together, a special personalized or unique cribbage board makes a great gift. Here are a few ideas to make a special cribbage gift.

For the perfect gift that tells someone how much you were thinking about them, nothing speaks more loudly than a monogram. You can personalize many of Walnut Studiolo's handcrafted leather products with initials, a monogram, or a short message for custom made gifts. Learn more here.
