Last year, we had a couple of controversial takes and we’re trying to make amends. Corgis have made it to the IN list for 2025 (sorry), however impractical glass jars have unfortunately made it to the OUT list (I think we all have too many now).

We hope you have an amazing new year filled with whimsy, crop tops, and mystical sounds from the lyre. We’ll be back soon with a theme announcement. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
