Welcome to my 2022 Gift Guides!
The idea behind all of my Gift Guides this year is that they are mostly championing independent makers & creatives and they are universal to whether it’s Christmas gifting or gifting for any other occasion. I will be adding to and updating the links and images in each post over the course of this year so you can bookmark these gift guides to come back to for gift inspiration throughout the year!
I have tried my best to pick pieces that all have an estimated delivery time (for UK residents) for before Christmas (at the time of posting). However please bare in mind the Royal Mail postage strikes this year and i dependant sellers on Etsy can’t guarantee your orders will arrive in time for Christmas under these circumstances!
First up we have a Taylor Swift themed Gift Guide! Somewhat niche, I’ll agree, but if you’ve followed me on Instagram for long enough you’ll know what a diehard Swiftie I am so it probably won’t be too much for a surprise to you. I had so much fun putting together this gift guide. I hope you will find the perfect gift for the Swiftie in your life and please save it to come back to as well. I will keep it updated!
Official Store
Of course, I have to firstly mention Taylor Swift’s official store which has some amazing pieces in at the moment. The whole store front is set up like the Lover House (if you know, you know) with snow falling down and each room representing an album, Midnights is in the sky and if you click on the trees you’ll find the Christmas Tree Farm section!
If you’re picking a gift from her store I would highly recommend the Snow Globes. At first glance the snow globes may seem really expensive but let me tell you these are superior snow globes because not only are they beautiful, unique and of course Taylor Swift themed but they literally play an entire song! In the case of the All Too Well Snow Globe (which I bought myself recently, scroll down for a photo) they play the 10 minute version of All Too Well and I mean the ENTIRE thing, I couldn’t believe it when mine just kept going! If you’ve never heard a snow globe sing “Fuck The Patriarchy” at you then it’s really something you need to experience. At the time of writing this post the All Too Well & the Cardigan Cabin Snow Globes are the only one available on Taylor’s website but I know there are other designs which I’m hoping will be restocked. There are of course a wide variety of T-Shirts, Jumpers & Hoodies available as well as a selection of adorable Christmas Ornaments. You can also get all her Vinyls & CD’s from her store too and (at the time of posting) all limited editions of Midnights are still available!
A couple of great gifts I think a lot of Swifties might not have are the Journey To Fearless DVD and Speak Now World Tour DVD. Both of which I have and are absolutely brilliant!
Independent Creators
Moving onto TS inspired products from independent makers. I found so many beautiful Swiftie products in my search but here are some of my favourites:
These Vinyl Record Bookends are really cool as you can pick your choice of artist and song/album to go on them. I think you could use them not only as book ends but to stack your Taylor Swift Vinyls between. I think this ‘In This House We Listen to Taylor’s Version’ Doormat would be so fun to have out. If you’re looking for TS inspired Candles I found this Red Candle and a Folklore Candle. For those who rank All Too Well as their favourite song then this ‘Autumn Leaves Falling’ Beret would make a great gift or this fabulous ‘Fuck The Patriarchy’ Cross-stitch.
This Silver Folklore Necklace is perfect for those who rank that as their favourite album. Keeping with the jewellery theme there are these adorable Mirrorball Earrings and Engraved TS Themed Rings. If you’re looking for a small gift then a keyring is a great option. I love this Ivy Inspired Keyring, these Floral Song Lyric Keyrings and lastly here is an assortment of Illustrated Folklore keyrings. I’ve found some cute mugs including this Swiftie Bookcase Mug and Swiftea Mug. We have a Swiftie Era's Make Up Bag which would partner well with any of these other little gifts. For a cute little home gift you could go for this Love You To The Moon & To Saturn Cushion.
Prints
I love so many of the prints I’ve come across it’s hard to pick favourites but my first pick has to be this 1989 Collage Print by The First May Day which I bought for myself (scroll down to see a photo), from the same shop I also love the Red Tour & 1989 Tour Prints. Plus they make these Folklore, Evermore & Red Tracklist Jumpers (they have t-shirt options too).
This illustrated Mirrorball Print is really gorgeous. I found some Folklore & Evermore Prints which are really unique and kind of scrapbook style. There are also these Old Book Title and Contents Page Prints which I absolutely love for Folklore and Evermore. This Black & White Reputation Print is really artsy. I really love the style of this Evermore Watercolour Print by Artt by Ali which features book style text of song lyrics with a watercolour illustration of Taylor over the top - gorgeous! I also found a Folklore style one similar. Some other prints I want to mention are these beautiful album prints by Glowing Daylight with illustrations representing each track on the album. They have all the albums but here is the Midnights Illustrated Print.
If you’re looking for a Digital Print option then I really love this one with all of Taylor’s Albums (including Midnights).
Apparel:
A few of my favourite jumpers I’ve found include: Love You To The Moon & To Saturn Jumper, Era’s Tour Jumper, Betty’s Garden Jumper, It’s Me Hi I’m The Problem Jumper, Too Soft For All Of It Jumper, Champagne Problems Jumper. One of my favourite scarves I found is this 'If Found Please Return To T Swift' Scarf. If you’re looking for the classic Folklore cardigan (which currently still hasn’t been restocked on Taylor’s website) then I found some good dupes here: folklore cardigan dupe one & folklore cardigan dupe two. I also found a dupe for the Jumper from the All Too Well Music Video.
Shops
My friend Claire at JustDaydreaming makes some beautiful TS inspired products featuring her own illustrations. This Eras Era Velvet Scrunchie is one of my favourites as you can see from the pics of me on her website! She also makes Christmas Cards, Prints & Postcards, I particularly love the Eras Era Print and another product she offers is a Mystery Box which includes a surprise selection of Taylor themed stationary, jewellery & more.
Some other Etsy shops I would recommend are: Taylor & Lucas and The Sunday Dream both of which I’ve bought from before. They make beautiful scarves, jumpers, t-shirts and more all embroidered with Taylor Swift lyrics.
I’ve included some links to Taylor’s Records as well as Record Players that I like too.
