I recently wrote a blog post on the Swedish art of Lagom; the way of living that strives to find not too much, not too little, but just the right amount. If you're here, chances are you, like me, sometimes feel you're the "odd one out" in thinking that you want to live life at a slower gentler pace than the rest of the world. And it makes sense that you'd feel that way. The world most certainly is moving faster and faster every year, and it's harder and harder to slow down when everything and everyone around you is shouting "it must be done this way!". But I applaud you for blocking out those shouts. Life can be lived at "just the right pace", and the Swedish art of Lagom is a beautiful toolkit to utilize as often as you can.
As you push back against the speed of the world, and aim to live an intentionally connected, simple life, my guess is you either a) have friends, family or acquaintances who feel the same as you, or b) you want to inspire the same way of thinking in those around you. Whichever the case, I'd love to share some Lagom-inspired gifts from my gift shop, Wonderfully Made Gifting Company, with you. These gifts have been intentionally designed for deeper connection, never include speed-encouraging items, and make memorable gifting simple for you. Enjoy!

5. Prayer & Peace
A Daughter of the King, sitting at her desk; heart bowed in prayer. Her prayer journal is open, and a pen is in hand; a candle is lit to bring some peace to the chaos around her. After praying for what's at the forefront of her mind, she finds inspiration from a prayer card for other things to pray or give thanks for. Then, she looks up to see her favorite floral sticker, maybe placed on her water bottle or laptop; an hourly reminder that if God cares for the wildflowers, how much more must He care for her. And she smiles. She is loved. She is at peace.
This luxury gift box has been beautifully designed for a friend, family member or colleague who loves and cherishes intentional time in prayer.
