One thing about Wild, is that we’re excellent at swapping recommendations. Inside the community hub we have very active sections for tips, books, and (no surprise) stationery. As a team, we also know firsthand how essential rest is for small business owners — especially the kind that pulls you offline and back into your actual body. It’s no wonder our first ever cozy retreat sold out earlier this year! Candle-painting, pottery, guided meditations? What can we say, we know how to fill your cup.

So here’s our roundup of some of the best cosy, creative gifts to buy your business pals (or your self) for Christmas.es you to buy up a new notebook, we promise we won’t tell anyone.

Why cozy activities matter

Running a business is rewarding, powerful, but also a lot. Creative play isn’t just a nice idea, it’s a form of rest. And not the “take-a-nap-and-hope-for-the-best” kind (although naps are so valid). We’re talking about the restorative, brain-resetting, joy-sparking kind of rest that comes from using your hands, slowing your pace, and engaging a world that isn’t a screen.

Cozy or crafty activities help you decompress, reduce anxiety, and remember what it feels like to make something purely for the joy of making it. Not for productivity. Not for content. Not for monetising. Just because it feels good.

For busy humans building businesses, that kind of rest is essential.
