The Nostalgia of Holiday Gifting

Holiday gifting is all about a nostalgia for a home for ever lost to a mechanized world: housing factories and cheaply made (foreign) goods extracted through western imperialism. This era of planned obsolescence has no memory.

We struggle to distance ourselves from the inherent exploitation that shapes and furnishes our lives by gifting local craft made goods. We offer these gifts to imbue a sense of nostalgia in the gift receiver and ameliorate his or her spiritual homelessness.
