Of Aspen Curated Gifts — Local services in Swarthmore

I cannot believe how high quality and genuinely beautiful these items and packageing are!

I ordered a few things one of which being the updated “Luminaries” planner. I had the thought of using it in my office and making the space a little bit more “me”… and I think this will certainly do the trick, along with the other items I ordered! Back to the planner, I have yet to use it but I cannot wait to crack it open and use it for the first time! I just cannot recommend this enough. It is just beautiful!

I also ordered their “begonia maculata” enamel pin! I saw it on their website and knew I had to have it since I have the plant itself! Not only did I receive that pin, but I also got another pin as a freebie!! Both of which feel so nice in the hand, and they just look like such good quality! I can’t recommend their pins enough as well! Definitely great quality!

The last product I ordered was the ghostie notepad! And although it is smaller than I thought it would be, it is JUST as adorable as I knew it would be! The print is clear and crisp, the pages aren’t flimsy, the saturation of the colors is also dead on to what you’ll find online! I am just floored with how good this looks in person! The only thing is I wish the size was a little clearer! But that may have been my mistake (I don’t read descriptions often)😂 so they dimensions could have been listed and I missed it, regardless… I’m so happy with the product!

As for the packaging, that deserves its own review!!

I opened up the box to find the cutest, most well thought out packaging I have EVER seen!!!! I opened it and found sleek black tissue paper sealed with a sticker, then found the pin and notepad I had also ordered tucked into an adorable orange mesh baggie (along with the bonus pin). After I got through that baggie, my excitement grew even more to find the planner wrapped in a lovely green tissue paper with twine tied around it. The order slip/note was tucked inside the twine along with another free goodie! They gave me the cutest spooky alien sticker as well!! So not just one freebie, but two! They also left an adorable thank you on the order slip which gave me a smile, so thank you!🖤💛

I am just so blown away with how much care went into each product and packaging! It really shows. I have never been through such a journey opening a package! I cannot recommend this...

I've had both the pleasure of opening an Of Aspen package and of shopping in store to curate one myself. Both are experiences that one needs to experience. Caroline's attention to detail and the love she has for what she does is evident in every little detail and throughout her adorable shop. Yellow is her signature color and you know when you open a box or gift bag and see that bright, sunshine yellow, you're in for a real treat. Truly, I've had the absolute pleasure of meeting Caroline and her dad in person and they are both treasures... open, friendly, welcoming, engaging, making you feel like an instant friend the moment you cross the threshold.

Caroline herself might be the best feature of Of Aspen. I've witnessed people come in and say, "We've got a X event for So and So. They love this color, are super into this, and are in college. HELP." and she helps. I've watched her curate perfect gifts in person and via her awesome TikTok channel. If you're unsure of what to get the tween, teen, college student, or wonderfully unique adult in your life, trust Caroline to do you good this holiday season and every special event really. Might I also suggest some holiday self care too. Her selection of enamel pins, sticks, and pretty pens plus journals, planners, and all manner of quirky accessories is always superb and perfect for treating yourself as...

This is my happy place. Caroline selects her merchandise with such care and attention, and treats all of her customers like they are her dearest friends. Her staff is always warm and inviting, and I feel like there is always something new every time I go in. The website is easy to use, and I love the option to select store pickup if you are local. If you get your items shipped, everything is wrapped meticulously and color-coordinated. Caroline told me that it is because these items are usually gifts for loved ones, or treats for the customers themselves, so they should be treated as such - everyone loves unwrapping gifts. There is something for everyone here, truly. Incredibly thoughtful and professional looking planners? Yes. Loose leaf tea? Yup. Quirky stickers? Of course. Tarot decks? So many! Cryptid stuffies, nerdy notebooks, and a whole wall full of PENS? And that's not even covering half of it. Go there yesterday, and support a small business, and countless artists handpicked...
