Our mutual love for the ladies of Commonwealth Rentals is no surprise, seeing what an incredible gift they are to the event industry. Rachel and Liz have curated their inventory exquisitely, covering everything from Victorian to Danish modern, and some perfect farmhouse in between.

We have Commonwealth to thank for the tables the vendors will be using at Give Good Gift, so be sure to check them out, and dream of linen-less events from now on!

Of course we’re biased, but our favorite Give Good Gift vendor is Carbon Audio. Not only is Zooka an awesomely innovative design that is being praised worldwide, but the 1/2 of UNION/PINE with a day job, designed it.

Check out Patrick Triato in this video clip highlighting the first in the line of Carbon Audio’s products, and then come buy one at GGG on Dec 7 & 8!
