We’ve been quietly working on something special for the holiday season — something crafted with intention, heart, and collaboration at the center. And today, we finally get to share it with you.
Introducing: The Normal Holiday Box
A pairing built for cozy mornings, slow moments, and thoughtful gifting.
When we set out to create a holiday box for you all, we knew two things:
+ It needed to include Chronicle, our winter coffee.
+ It needed to be paired with a mug made by someone who loves their craft as deeply as we love roasting coffee.
So we set out to find a Nebraska ceramist — a small business, an entrepreneur, an artist whose work feels personal and intentional. That’s when we found Abi Laluk of Laluk Ceramics.
If you’ve ever wandered the Aksarben Farmers Market or browsed a local maker event, you may have seen her beautiful pieces. Abi is an independent ceramist in Omaha who is a complete pro at making mugs that feel as good to hold as they look on your shelf.
Together, we dreamed up a mug that celebrates togetherness, coziness, and the quiet joy of a well-made cup.
Abi hand-spun each mug in her studio — every curve, glaze, and detail crafted with care. Now, these stunning pieces are ready to be delivered to your doorstep, paired perfectly with Chronicle.
This Holiday Box is truly a celebration of small business collaboration, Nebraska craftsmanship, and the shared love of a good cup of coffee.
If this feels like the gift you’ve been waiting for, we recommend grabbing yours soon.
Thank you for supporting Normal, for shopping small, and for sharing our dream with the people in your world. It means more than we can ever say.
