Over the years, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to be featured in a few gift guides, and each time it’s not only helped us grow as a business, but it’s also been a true honor. There’s something special about being recognized publicly, knowing that our work is worthy of a recommendation—whether it’s from a friend, a customer, or someone discovering us for the first time.
This year, we’re thrilled to share something exciting with you all—our very First Ever Dolphin Studio Gift Guide! Each of us at the studio—Crispina, Sofia, Lily, Kerry, and Lucy—has put together a list of brands and artists we love and admire. What makes this guide extra special is that many of these brands are small businesses, just like ours. Most of the gifts featured are also art-based, offering truly unique, handmade items that you can feel good about giving. Whether you're shopping for a loved one, a friend, or even treating yourself, we’ve curated a range of options that are thoughtful, beautiful, and meaningful. No matter your budget, we’ve made sure to include a variety of price ranges.
