As one year ends and other begins, many of us like to reflect on the past and set intentions for the future. The Magic of I planner is so much more than just a planner — it’s a grimoire, a guide, a tool for manifesting your best and most cosmically in tune self. There are countless interactive pages of astrology, moon phases, menstrual tracking and more. Also, if you’re new to astrology, it has several pages of accessible and comprehensive information breaking down important vocabulary and processes for incorporating the stars and planets into your daily life. It has a ribbon bookmark, pockets for spells and poems, and, in the back, it says: “Magic in here… / … and everywhere.” What more could you need?
This beautiful ring reminds me of playing in my backyard late at night as child, casting spells, and shouting “ABRACADABRA” with glee. Yet, the ring itself functions as a real protection spell. On the site it states: “Read this phrase as it is written, till all but the last letter is said and arm yourself from those who would do your harm.” I can’t imagine a more meaningful gift than a spell that your loved one can wear every day.
This is the sort of captivating artwork you could get lost in all day long — much like the forest where its subject resides. Whether your loved one grew up hearing the story of the Jersey Devil deep in the Pine Barrens or if they are simply a lover of all that is strange and folkloric, this is an essential piece. Gift it inside a vintage frame for an additional touch of magic.
Everything feels liminal as the decade closes. In so many ways, the veil feels thinner, as though we could stretch out our arms and suddenly exist in a totally new space. Gift this special oracle deck to someone creative & introspective in your life and allow the liminal images and messages to carry them to all the familiar places they have never been.

Check out their site and choose a box that’s perfect for your magical loved one.
