If you haven’t already cancelled your subscription to 2021, it’s probably time to dust off your notebook and jot down some goals for the year.  For those of you who are newer to intention setting, they can be simple like: spend more socially distanced time with friends, or let The Salty or El Bagel miss you a bit.  Maybe you’ve decided 2021 is without a doubt your year- full speed ahead.  Wherever you are on the manifestation spectrum, we believe that creating the right environment for your future success makes all the difference.  Here’s a few of our favorite ways to set the tone for growth and contentment this year.

Create an Uplifting Environment

With many of us spending 99% of our lives at home, it is more important than ever to love our spaces.  Keep your home office full of fresh flowers and a pop of color with our neon, translucent Mondri Vase.  Inner peace is sometimes only a quick switch away with our LED Acrylic Buddha Lamp.  It’s pretty OM-mazing if you ask us.  Lose the boring, plain white walls and add some art!  Some of our faves are these Andy Warhol Flowered Skateboards or this The Time Is Now print.

Journal Frequently

If 2020 was difficult to process, we’ve now entered 2020 2.0.  Seriously, it never hurts to write down some less than positive thoughts and let that ish go!  Journaling has been proven to help you move powerfully towards your dreams and aspirations so, why not do it in style?  Crank up your creativity with our Frida Khalo Idlewild Notebook.  If you are absolutely over it, but still have some interesting ideas worth remembering, this recycled, leatherbound, 256-page Bang Head Here Journal may be your new favorite place to brain dump.  For everyday ideas and aha napkin notes, this Mermaid Jumbo Deskpad is perfect.

Learning Something New

Is your mind feeling a little stale from too much doom scrolling?  There’s never been a better time to unplug from our phones and the endless flow of negative news.  We are loving Goodbye Phone, Hello World- a guide on how to feel empowered by not picking up your cell 150 times a day, while reconnecting to simple pleasures like nature and other humans.  If finally learning how to cook is on your 2021 to-do list, don’t miss Dorothy Iannone’s Cookbook: A real book of recipes full of visual delights, and filled with wit, wordplay, and idiosyncratic thoughts. 

Breathe In The Good Vibes

Transport yourself to simpler times with this bergamot, citrus, tonka, and sandalwood combo, timely named: Make Love Not War.  Feel the peace for 50+ hours of drama free burn time.  If you need a reminder of the goddess you truly are, our I Am Divine Amethyst Crystal Candle has your name on it.  With a plantable wildflower seed paper dust cover, and enclosed amethyst crystal, think of this sweetly scented candle as the gift that keeps giving.  Drift away to somewhere tropical with our coconut wax, limoncello splash, quince, and blushed prosecco scented Sunshine Spritz Candle from Homesick.

Refresh Your Style 

If you’ve escaped the ‘sweatpants only’ life for at least a day, you probably felt the slightest increase of confidence, put togetherness, or perhaps just got the opportunity to wash and dry your go-to quarantine uniform.  While we’re not suggesting you ditch loosely fitting cotton blend perfection, we’re just saying, you have options while keeping it chic.  For the guys, we’re crushing hard on this Duvin Black Umbrella Shirt and versatile Swim Shorts.  For the ladies, you can never go wrong with Spiritual Gangster’s uplifting graphic tops, and specifically, the Be The Light Muscle Tank, Higher Vibes Crop Tank, or Trust The Universe Chakra Tank.

Accessorize

Intentions often materialize with frequent reminders and accountability.  Wear your mantra on your wrist with this black and gold Be Happy Beaded Bracelet by Brooklyn-based Venessa Arizaga.  Commit to giving back while making a statement with this There’s No Planet B tote.  Each bag is made by female weavers from Bangladesh and each purchase helps them access medical and financial resources to improve their social standing.  

We hope to see you at Frangipani soon and that you join our #FrangiFamily sooner than later.  Don’t forget to pick up your Make Wynwood Fun Again Blue Hat and sport it around Miami or whatever other city you call home.  So, set some big goals, give it your best, and believe that the best is truly yet to come in 2021.

Last Minute Holiday Gifts For Everyone On Your List

The Countdown to Christmas is officially here and we know that half of you still haven’t started shopping for your top 3 favorite people.  It happens to the best of us far more often than we’d like to admit.  You know, making your list, checking it twice, getting stuck in traffic on the way to the mall for the 3rd time.  Hard pass.  Here’s a not so new idea:  Shop local, avoid the lines, and if you live in Miami, we’ll hand deliver your order from Frangipani in time for Christmas, just because we love you so much.  So, get browsing!  We’ve rounded up our top gift picks by person to make the rest of your holiday prep as breezy as a warm, sunny, Miami Winter day.

The Man in your life

You’d think we’d be over it by now, but when Miami-based Mavrans launched their newest men’s tie dye collection, we were immediately hooked and came back for thirds.  With 100% organic pima cotton, and each design as original as your thumbprint, one or two of these will be perfect for that week between Christmas and New Years where anything goes!  Heading to the beach?  Get him the Swim Shorts you actually want him to wear.  Whether he’s more of a solids, stripes, or palm tree print kind of guy, OAS Swim Shorts will make for an easy win.  If you’re feeling extra sweet and he’s in need of some extra style, go for a Mono Monochrome Watch in one of six colors.

The Lady with Style and Grace

2021 should undoubtedly be the year of putting self-care first, ya feel?  Treat your leading lady, best friend, mama, or sister to an abundant dose of antioxidant bliss with Vitamin C or Caffeine-boosted Facemasks from Baja Zen.  Toss in a couple of vitamin and essential oil infused Musee Bath Bombs and complete their journey to inner peace and relaxation with a Nailed It Manicure Kit to leave her feeling like her best self.  For the ultimate dose of comfort and cozy, this Mamas Knit Throw Blanket is the perfect movie night and Netflix-marathon companion.

The Boss you Actually Like

Because many of us have been glued to our home offices this season, it’s even more important that these spaces are as functional as they are fabulous.  Start off by reminding the world’s greatest boss what great leader they are with our “Out of Answers”, “Nope” or “Girl Boss” Deskplates.  For those 4pm meetings with corporate that could have been emails, show some moral support with this Porcelain Spirit Eye second cup of coffee/ wine mug and don’t worry; we’ll never ask.  And since can you never have enough candles, our Lavender Mimosa Wabi Sabi Candle is hand-poured and comes in a reusable ceramic bowl for cereal or leftovers later.

Your Work Wife or Office Bestie

This person has been your lifesaver since day one on the job and is somehow the hardest to shop for.  Solution found.  Gift them a Power to The People Tech Kit for when you need to borrow their charger in the near future.  Offer them some stylish back support or naptime must-have with our Peruvian Pom-Pom Pillow and make sure they’re helping the office stay safe with this comfortable, layered Superwoman Mask.

Your Quaranteam

Lastly, whoever was lucky enough to be in your inner circle this year, probably deserves the utmost admiration and a sweet gift as well.  For the one who always had a fun indoor adventure planned, our Moma Designed, 2-in-1 Chess and Checkers Set is the perfect choice.  To thank the ultra-positive one, why not a Scandinavian designed Fun Message Board to post their favorite quotes and inside jokes on? And what’s a little quarantine without a couple of drinks?  Gift the intellectual who always has the best ‘cheers’ our set of 4 Mark Twain Shot Glasses, and guarantee a good time over the holidays.

We hope you find everything on your wishlist this year and are here to help!  Looking for something specific?  Send us a DM on Instagram and we’ll be happy to help you finish up your shopping on a unique and stylish note.  Don’t forget, Frangipani delivers in the Greater Miami Area from now until December 23rd.

If you’re not settled into the spirit of the holiday season yet, we totally get it.  This year has been a whirlwind of craziness and we too are wondering when all will just be merry and bright.  Luckily for you, our Frangipani Elves have been working tirelessly to curate all the many gifts and surprises to add a little joy to your home or a loved one’s stocking.  If you’re local, swing by our Wynwood location and safely browse our shelves while taking in the sweet scents of balsam and fir.  Out of town or staying home for the foreseeable future?  We offer local Miami delivery and also ship.  Either way, your Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Kwanza holiday dreams are about to come true.

Journals 

One thing 2020 has gifted many of us, is some extra time to be with our thoughts and hopefully jot down a dream or two.  We all know that person who carries a different notepad/ journal for each area of their life.  You know, day-to-day to do’s, work notes and client requests, somewhere to write down all the amazing things they’ll manifest in 2021.  Our Frangipani Journals are here for all of it.  For the art lover on your list, our Art is Like Journal is perfect for bullet journaling while our Chasing Dreams Journal is lined, stylish, pink, and just waiting for some ‘me time’.  Don’t miss our ‘skinny journals’ like the Deep Dark Secrets Journal that slips effortlessly into any beach bag.

Books

Whether they’re decorating the coffee table you’ve had your feet up on for the last 10 months, or actually being read to take your mind off the day-to-day, we can all agree that books make a world of a difference.  How about a deep dive into plant medicine and overall wellness?  We’ve got you covered with Merry Jane’s: Wellness, The CBD Solution.  And while you’re improving your life and living it to the fullest, go ahead and jump into Feck Perfuction, a solution oriented approach to the ‘business of life’.  Don’t forget your business bestie’s new bible: Super Maker: Crafting Business on Your Own Terms.

Candles

Home is where the candles are burning bright, and what would the holidays be like if your 600 sq. foot condo (or Star Island six bedroom) didn’t smell like a winter wonderland?  Being ‘home for the holidays’ undoubtedly hits different this year, so spruce up your space with our Green Mercury Glass Candle that carries notes of Mistletoe Leaves, Sandalwood, and Vanilla Bean for hours.  Stay in control, powerful, and balanced with our crystal infused Kundalini Candles which smell like heaven and each have a keepsake crystal after that slow burn.  Since home-sweet-home is where we’ll all be-stay-be, you may opt for our Amber and musk fave: Ortigia Ambra Nera Candle with an extra long burn time and sultry design.  Don’t forget your Let’s Party Matches!

Puzzles/ Games

Speaking of hardly leaving the house, why don’t you give your Netflix marathons a rest and join your quaranteam for some good, wholesome, fun.  Fancy a puzzle?  We recommend starting with our guilty pleasure: The Champagne Problems Puzzle.  It’s just as boozy as it sounds and even better when paired with some rose bubbly and old school Mariah Carey Christmas Jams.  If you’re opting for travel this season, bring along our new Leather Travel Backgammon Set for fun on the go.  Literally can’t with any of it?  Order some Uber Eats and get going on this Rise and Shine Puzzle aka the most glorious brunch spread #holidaybaking.

Jewelry

Staying home?  Going out?  Wearing masks doesn’t mean we’ve stopped accessorizing.  From dainty gold pieces to colorful statement jewelry, Frangipani is worth the visit.  For the bold, and bright lady on your list, shop these Lido Hoops, which were handmade in Guatemala and beaded to perfection.  For the strong one, who somehow has kept it together this year, swoop this gold Fuerte Necklace to remind her she’s doing a great job.  Bring someone on your list some buena suerte with these adorable Meridian Avenue Pave Horseshoe Studs.

Christmas Decor & More Gifts

If there were ever a year to keep your Christmas decorations up a little longer, it’s good ol’ 2020!  Bring the Miami vibes to your home with these festive Pineapple and Watermelon ornaments.  Keep your kids entertained for hours with this giant Christmas Poster with Stickers.  And lastly, fill up those stockings with something you know they’ll love- a Frangipani Gift Card!  

We hope you’re having a great December so far and look forward to seeing you at the store or on our fulfillment ‘good list’ soon.  Don’t forget, we deliver anywhere in the Greater Miami Area and ship Nationwide.  Get your orders in early for guaranteed Christmas Delivery.
