9 Cottagecore Holiday Gifts That'll Delight The Nature Lover On Your List

Even if you're not into the cottagecore trend that completely took over in 2020, you probably have a friend (or multiple friends) who are. And we get the appeal. Cottagecore celebrates a return to nature and the simpler things — baking loaves of sourdough, foraging for natural home decor instead of buying it, and even just spending nights at home with a warm cup of tea. Accordingly, gifts for the idyllic, nature-lover in your life should have a sense of simple beauty. Here are some of our favorite cottagecore holiday gifts for the season, but they'll work as sweet tokens for your loved ones all year long.
