Game Night with Ordinary Habit - Ordinary Habit

Do you hear that? It's the faint sound of children laughing, the chime of champagne flutes mid-toast, the rustle of wrapping paper coming undone. It's easy to let these ordinary moments pass us by. But if we slow down and listen closely, they can ignite the senses—and inspire a feeling of nostalgia—especially during the holidays.

At Ordinary Habit, we're proud to create products that encourage presence and calm, though we never forget to pay homage to the past. This idea is particularly true for Tre and Echo—our inspiring co-founders (and favorite mother-daughter duo!)—whose rituals and experiences anchor everything we do. "My mother taught me to crochet early on, starting with the little chain stitch and working my way up to quilts and even granny square vests!" Tre recalled when asked about enduring off-duty habits. Eventually, she introduced this tradition to Echo and added that "Echo loved creating things with her hands, so we were always finding crafts and activities to keep her busy! She really got into it and eventually was designing amazing scarves with beautiful alpaca wool colors."

As the year winds down, downtime kicks into high gear. Tre's story shows us that there's no better season to indulge in family pastimes—or cultivate new habitual moments of play. And if you're not sure where to start, we've curated a game-inspired gift guide to get you through the holidays with ease.

Are you ready? Get set. Go—and let the fun and games begin.
