Let’s go shopping for some magical moments.
The Signature Permission to Pause Collection
Learn more about the Spring Collection and purchase yours here! This is the ultimate experience, and one that will wow you or your lucky friend.
Our newest Collections, The Hostess, LowCountry Welcome, & Retreat Collections, are year-round boxes perfect for yourself or a dear friend.
Starting at a lower price than the Signature Permission to Pause Collections, but just as lovely. If you already know our seasonal collections, the biggest differences are: the size and number of items; there is no journal packet with prompts; and though we include cards that guide the experience, the booklet is digital.
Also, in these year-round boxes, the items aren’t chosen with a thread/theme like they are in the Signature Collection, but they are curated so the items work well together (of course!). Many items have been in previous Permission to Pause Collections.
And the biggest change is that you can see what is in these boxes before you purchase; however, due to availablilty, items will periodically change.
Introducing our newest, year-round boxes.
A beautifully curated gift designed for the moments that call for something special - a birthday, a weekend hostess gift, or simply a friend who needs a boost. Each box is filled with thoughtful, storied items from small businesses (many female-owned), and arrives ready to gift with elegant packaging and presentation details.
The Hostess Collection
A collection that feels like a hug in a box - grounded, warm, and designed to invite calm and restoration. Perfect for the person who needs permission to slow down and just take care of herself.
Herringbone Throw in Shadow from Alashan
As soft as cashmere, but crafted in a popular cotton blend that can be washed and used year-round. From the much-loved luxury brand, this is absolute elegance and a perennial favorite.
Weekend Luxury Candle from Porter Hill
Designed and hand-poured by a mom and interior designer who believes everyday moments should be beautiful. Gorgeous when lit or simply used as decor, this clear vessel and white wax seal will work in any season.
Antique Brass Candle Snuffer
Because the whisper of extinguishing a candle in this way is calming in itself.
Handmade Dough Bowl
Hand-carved and hand-oiled by local artisans, and sourced by a husband-and-wife team who founded the company. Beautiful on its own, or to hold the candle, the quote cards, or whatever needs a home.
Solid Glass Sphere
A stunning piece of solid glass that comes with a clear acrylic stand. Display it on a shelf, a stack of books, or anywhere it can catch the light.
Six Signature Quote Cards from the Permission to Pause Collection, designed to surprise and inspire.
Each box includes cards sharing the story behind every item, plus a link to our magazine-style guide with creative ideas for use and gifting.
The Hearth
A collection that feels like a hug in a box - grounded, warm, and designed to invite calm and restoration. Perfect for the person who needs permission to slow down and just take care of herself.
$160
A fresh, vibrant collection in blues, greens, and neutrals, perfect for spring and summer, and lovely year-round.
The Gardener’s Long Basket from Kaaterskill Market
The most popular item we’ve ever included in our Signature Collection, this handmade basket is just as perfect as a purse as it is for decor.
Handmade Turkish Peshtemal Towel in Slate
Soft, lightweight, and in the most gorgeous blue.
Boutross Linen Cocktail Napkins
From Boutross Linens, a family-owned business founded in 1894 that produces some of the most beautiful linens you'll find. This set features four intricately scalloped cocktail napkins with navy or green sewn French Swiss dots.
Flouwer Crackers
Created by two neighbors who happen to be bakers and gardeners, edible flowers are baked right in - as beautiful as they are delicious.
Sand Candle from Candella
Founded by a female chemist with an eye for design, this palm wax feels like sand and can be used in your own containers, from a simple dish to a vintage find. It burns beautifully, can be reused again and again, and cleverly self-extinguishes if tipped.
Heirloom Scissors from Hannah Bergen
Another favorite - darling as decor, or put to work with ribbons, herbs, and more. A mother-daughter company inspired by family and heritage craftsmanship.
Six Signature Quote Cards from the Permission to Pause Collection, designed to surprise and inspire.
Each box includes cards sharing the story behind every item, plus a link to our magazine-style guide with creative ideas for use and gifting.
The Veranda
A fresh, vibrant collection in blues, greens, and neutrals, perfect for spring and summer, and lovely year-round.
It feels a bit light, breezy alfresco.
$150
Collections Coming Soon . . .
The Front Porch,
A Lowcountry Welcome
The most beautiful way to welcome someone to the Lowcountry. Each item is thoughtfully curated; they are either made in the area or simply capture the soul of the area.
The Nook,
A Retreat in a Box
A smaller, retreat-focused collection designed for the woman who needs a moment — whether at home or on a quick getaway. Every item was curated with calm and quiet in mind, and with the kind of care you rarely give yourself.
Individual Items and Gifts
Many of these items have been featured in earlier Permission to Pause Collections, and we love them just as much on their own. Each one is packaged in a sleeve or dust protector, often with a ribbon or embellishment, and includes a card with the maker's story and creative ideas for use and gifting, unless you request otherwise.
a note on shipping: If you order more than one item, flat-rate shipping is applied to each. We'll package your items together whenever possible and refund any shipping costs that weren't needed. Questions? Email kimberly@thepermissiontopausecollection.com.
