Gang, we’ve long been trying to figure out a way to connect you, our national audience, with some of the small, local brands we’ve come to love over the years. So it’s a total thrill to announce that our new(!!) holiday gift shop – filled with hand-picked, holiday-ready pieces from small businesses we love – is officially open for business.
The Mom Edit Holiday Gift Shop has been a total labor of love and a brand new venture for our team. We’ve spent weeks carefully sourcing a handful of truly special pieces that we feel the TME community will genuinely enjoy, and building this shop from the ground up. Because these gifts are hand-crafted by local artisans, quantities are very limited — in fact, some of the gifts are even vintage, one-of-a-kind pieces.
We’ve curated the coolest selection of jewelry, hair accessories, and leather goods, with prices ranging from $12 – $700. The entire shop was designed to be an artful, joyful peek at a different kind of holiday shopping: hyper-local, wildly unique, and small batch. Each piece ordered will by packaged by us (or my kids, haha), and will be in gift-ready, pretty packaging.
As you can imagine, we are OVER THE MOON about this new venture, and, as we’ve spent the last few weeks styling and shooting and preparing…our love for these pieces has only grown (always a good sign!!).
Here are a few of my personal favorites, just for fun.

Meet The Brands
Angela Monaco
Philadelphia-based jewelry designer and entrepreneur Angela Monaco has been designing beautiful, distinctive jewelry for more than twenty years. Each piece is designed at their Walnut Street studio, and is then made – in recycled metal – on Philadelphia’s Jeweler’s Row, where they’ve been working with the same family-owned businesses for over a decade.
A reverence for the natural world is at the core of every piece crafted by Angela Monaco Jewelry. They only source ethical gems, and cast in recycled or fair-mined metals. All AMJ pieces are produced by hand within a one-mile radius of their Philadelphia Flagship.
Casupo
Casupo is a sustainable leather goods brand founded by Luz, who grew up near the Casupo mountain range in Venezuela. With 15 years of experience designing leather goods for major brands like New Balance & Fila, Luz started her own line by rescuing leather destined for waste, and sourcing sustainable leathers from gold-rated tanneries (who use natural dyes to reduce toxic impact).
A portion of Casupo profits is donated to FUNDANICA, a nonprofit providing children’s medical care in Venezuela, located at the base of the Casupo mountains where Luz spent her childhood hiking.
Based in Long Beach, California, Casupo reflects Luz’s commitment to nature, responsible craftsmanship, and giving back.
Jane Win
Jane Winchester Paradis, founder of Jane Win, launched her jewelry line after more than 20 years in fashion design and marketing. Reflecting on her journey, she says, “Starting a company at age 45 is not the path that many take.” But that leap felt right for her after years spent working with brands like Adrienne Vittadini, Calvin Klein Cosmetics, Barneys New York, and Lilly Pulitzer. “I wanted to build something from scratch, something original that connected with women,” she shares, adding, “And I wanted my kids to see me do it (and help!).”
Born in New Hampshire and having lived up and down the East Coast, Jane’s career took her from New York City to now settling just outside Philadelphia. She’s “very (very very very) happily married” to her husband, Doug, with five kids between them. But it was her experience at the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, D.C., that ignited a spark: while she loved her job at Lilly Pulitzer, she was ready to create something meaningful and personal, with her family by her side for every step.
Raising Surfers
Raising Surfers is a community of water-dwellers who aspire to have better tomorrows for generations to come. Their mission is to get everyone who ever dreamed of learning to surf on a board, and into a wave. Raising Surfers sponsors swim lessons in communities of need throughout the United States.
Their jewelry designs mainly use a high grade carbon neutral stainless steel as a base and is coated in recycled gold. Stainless steel is a sustainable metal that is both hypoallergenic and resistant to rust, oxidation, and discoloration yet is also eco-friendly. They use a proprietary blend of techniques to ensure that our plating process is best in class, and many of their pieces can be considered waterproof (even while surfing).
Room Shop
Room Shop was founded by Shelly Horst and her husband Dryw Scully in 2017. With a background in merchandising and trend forecasting, Shelly found herself drawn to designing accessories and set out to make “the biggest scrunchie anyone has ever seen” in 2018. The resulting Cloud Scrunchies set off the giant scrunchie trend and is now a wardrobe staple for every fashion girl. The brand now does everything from hair accessories to handbags and charms. Everything is designed with a sense of whimsy and a trend-forward POV, while always looking to vintage for inspiration. Using fabrics that are rich in shine or ethereal and sheer, Room Shop accessories take any outfit to the next level. The brand is small batch, made in Philadelphia and strives for zero waste by using scraps to make new designs and recycling what is left.
Stone Cooper
We believe jewelry is a method of storytelling. Ritual adornment can inspire us, build our community, and connect us to generations past and future. Our pieces are sustainably and ethically-sourced, frequently making the most of antique and vintage deadstock parts. We craft and curate meaningful treasures to enhance your inherent divinity and power.
Katherine Sliclen is the owner and designer behind Stone Cooper. Her love for jewelry began at a young age, working at multiple bead stores and studying metalsmithing on the side. After interning in NYC’s diamond district, Kat decided to pursue her passion more seriously and opened Stone Cooper upon graduating college in 2013.

SO exciting!!! And WHAT a labor of love and care this was–beautifully curated and shot … and I love how you all partnered with small, women-owned businesses and opened it up for all of us in the TME family to get behind. I placed an order immediately! (There was no way to resist the cherry charm. I’m not even a charm person! What is happening?! TME Magic, that’s what.) And I continue to adore my Raising Surfers jewelry from the TME collab this summer (just realized I’m wearing two of the pieces right now). Thank you for all you do, Shana and team!
