The 2021 Minimalist Gift Guide

Beautiful Items for Home & Work

For this year’s Gift Guide I tried not to force any category constraints on the items I chose. However, this year’s selection seems to strike a balance between daily personal use and tools to empower creative work. I think this is fitting for 2021, given the displacement and overlap between work and home life. The pandemic has upended many industries, processes, and ways of living and working. I hope you find enjoyment in this year’s curation.

The Modern Fuel Bolt Action pen is an incredible writing instrument. The unique bolt mechanism can accommodate a variety of pen refills and the pen is built of materials intended to last a lifetime. Baron Fig’s iconic pen sheath makes for the perfect way to carry and store this mighty instrument when not in active use.
