For all Dreamers, from the fledglings to the time-honoured, I hope these gifting concepts help you find the perfect gift for the daydreamers in your life.


This is the last edit for the gifting series. I hope you’ve enjoyed the blogs and the concepts created. I didn’t expect to do them—the original mood boards were created as a product submission, and I wanted to showcase The ABC Dream Oracle among other items. I enjoyed digital window shopping and making the mood boards so much, and as the festive gifting season was approaching, I decided to continue. I have to admit, I am a chronic online wishlist kinda girl. I’ve honestly had so much fun doing this, but it is quite time-consuming, so this will be the last.


I didn’t celebrate Christmas growing up, but over the last few years, as an adult, I’ve fully embraced this festive season. The lights, merriment, togetherness, and gift-giving bring such warmth to winter and the closing of the year.


I hope you enjoy this final gifting blog, and stay tuned with Quilled for my other little love letters to you, dreamers.


Our day-to-day annoyances, personal grievances, and the suffering of others can be soul-crushing. There is so much tragedy and cruelty, and it’s perpetual and agonising. Scrolling online and a child in pain flashes past the screen—like their reality stabs into mine. They must be seen; their suffering witnessed. Ever since I was very little, I remember seeing the same expression on different children from different parts of the world, and thirty years later, it’s still happening. It’s sickening and infuriating and unbearable.


I’m adding this here, to a festive gift guide, because sometimes it can feel schizophrenic to hold space for happiness while there’s so much pain. But your happiness must be held onto, cherished, and nurtured—you deserve to experience joy, always, and so does everyone else. The intricacies of life’s ups and downs can give us greater depth, but such tremendous amounts of cruelty enforced over and over on some is intolerable—and shouldn’t be.


I’m not writing here because I know the answers, or because I want you to feel any sort of way. I just hope that you hold onto your hope and keep dreaming—it’s your duty to dream. It’s not futile—it’s lifesaving. Your wellbeing is reliant on keeping your inner dreamer alive. If it goes, then a domino effect occurs and wipes out other dreamers.


I still believe the world will get better. There are so many beautiful people who care, who have the capacity for such love. Hold onto this love inside you.


Wishing you a beautiful closing to the year,

Dreaming with you, Rose.


P.S. The concepts are below—the products will be in the following blog.


The Dinner Party

A modern-day parlour game for bonding. Place the deck on the table and invite guests to pull a card for connection that goes beyond the surface—sparking conversations of gratitude, hope, and dreams for the year ahead.


A Good Night’s Sleep

For a deeper rest, call in a message to dream to. Let a card inspire the last thoughts you hold before slipping into peace this holiday season—a gentle close to the magic of the day.


Poolside or at the Beach (or perhaps just in the bath tub?)

Sun-soaked serenity. Where the mind is free to wander, a card can anchor a moment of reflective bliss amid festive travels.


The Snuggler

For cosy cuddles wrapped up inside. Share a card and a quiet intention beside the glow of the Christmas tree.


The Park Bench

Solo strolls for quietude. Pull a card in the crisp winter air and let the stillness harmonise with your inner world.


Let’s Picnic

Shared baskets and shared dreams. A card pulled under the Christmas tree becomes a magical prompt for storytelling and connection with loved ones.


Midweek Pick-Me-Up

A gentle nudge for the spirit. When the week feels long, a single card can be a moment of recentring and grace—a quiet anchor during the festive rush.


The Yang Significant Other

A dream declared for the festive season. Gifted to a loved one for entrusted dreams and full support. Share a card to bridge inner worlds.


Early to Rise

For the first quiet moments of the day. Meet the dawn of a new winter day with a card and a question, setting a tone of purpose and presence for the season ahead.


For the Littlest Dreamers

A moment of stillness for new parents; place a card in the nursery as a soft visual anchor for peace during the holidays. With older children: gather under cosy blankets, pick a card together, and let its message inspire stories, giggles, and sweet dreams.


For the Teenage Dreamer

A card pulled late on a winter’s night holds space for big feelings and dreams unfolding under the festive stars—a private language for a soul discovering its own map.


I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas

Stillness and space for the minimalist soul. A single card against a clean backdrop invites clarity amid the seasonal glow.
