There's something profoundly meaningful about giving a gift crafted by human hands. Each piece tells a story—of tradition, of craft passed down through generations, of materials sourced with care and respect for the earth.
We believe that considerate giving aligns with mindful living. When you choose a handcrafted item as a gift, you're not just offering an object but sharing a philosophy that values purpose, quality, and sustainability.
The Beauty of Imperfection
What makes handcrafted items so special is their inherent uniqueness. The slight variations in texture, the subtle marks of the maker's hand—these aren't flaws but signatures of authenticity. In embracing these natural variations, we find a deeper connection to the objects that surround us and a gentle reminder of the beauty in imperfection.

Bloomist x Hangai: Hand-Woven Textiles
Founded in 2017, Hangai Mountain Textiles was inspired by the founders’ deep connection to Mongolia’s cultural traditions and the natural beauty of Colorado. After years immersed in life and work in Mongolia, they were drawn to the extraordinary qualities of hand-combed cashmere, yak down, and baby camel fibers—and committed to creating sustainable, premium textiles that reflect that beauty.
Hangai partners directly with herder families and small, family-run production companies, supporting the local economy and preserving time-honored techniques. Every piece is thoughtfully knitted or woven in Mongolia using yak down, a rare, hypoallergenic fiber that helps maintain the delicate balance of the steppe grasslands. The result is a collection of textiles that offer exceptional warmth, comfort, and durability—while celebrating the artistry of the makers and the landscapes that shape them.
Now available, the Bloomist x Hangai collection features a curated selection of these heirloom-quality throws—including knit, woven, and waffle-knit styles in subtle, nature-inspired tones. From soft cashmere blends to richly textured yak down and wool throws, each piece offers exceptional warmth and timeless beauty while honoring the landscapes and artisans that bring them to life.
Sustainable Wood Objects
From Itza Wood hand-carved wooden trays to striking Larch Wood cutting boards, wood celebrates the natural grain and warmth of this timeless material. Crafted from reclaimed or sustainably harvested timber, each piece connects your home to the quiet wisdom of forests and the skilled hands that shape raw materials into objects of lasting beauty.
Botanical Treasures
Our preserved botanicals and dried arrangements offer the gift of nature's perfection, thoughtfully gathered and prepared to bring lasting natural beauty to any space. Each stem is selected at its peak and carefully preserved using environmentally responsible methods.
Gifts That Give Back
When you choose handcrafted items from Bloomist, you're supporting not only the artisans who create them but also our commitment to responsible business practices. Many of our collections are created in partnership with traditional craftspeople around the world, helping to preserve cultural techniques that might otherwise be lost.
The Gift of Slow Living
Perhaps the most valuable gift we can offer those we care about is an invitation to slow down—to notice the subtle textures, scents, and forms that make up our daily experience. Handcrafted objects serve as gentle reminders to be present, to appreciate quality over quantity, and to find balance in a world that often feels hurried and overwhelming.
As you select gifts for those you love (or perhaps a meaningful object for yourself), we invite you to consider the story behind each piece. How was it made? Who created it? What materials went into its creation? These questions lead us toward more intentional choices and deeper connections with our possessions.
In a culture of abundance, choosing fewer, better things becomes a radical act of mindfulness—one that honors both the earth and the human capacity for creation.
That's something truly worth falling in love with.
