Finally, eyewear that actually fits. Covry was founded by two friends who were tired of the same daily indignity: glasses sliding down the nose, frames resting on cheeks, lenses smudged by noon. Their Elevated Fit frames are engineered for lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones, with adjusted nose pads and tilt so the frame sits exactly where it should instead of wherever gravity drags it. The result is comfort you stop noticing and a look that is genuinely sharp. This $150 gift card goes toward sunglasses or optical frames of your choosing from the full collection. If you have spent your entire life pushing your glasses back up with one finger, consider this your sign. Bid, and stop adjusting.

Start your mornings like an Oakland local.

The sleeper experience of the night. Along with three bags of oak wood roasted coffee and a Mr. Espresso hat, the winning bidder gets a personal tour of the Mr. Espresso roastery in Oakland's Jack London district, hosted by co-founder Luigi Di Ruocco himself. You will smell the oak as it burns, watch beans move through a roast almost nobody else in the country still does this way, and hear the family story behind a business that has been going since 1978. A $300 value with bidding opening at $100. The coffee is excellent. The morning with Luigi is the part you will tell people about for years. Somebody here is about to get very lucky. Make it you.

Asian American Memoir Bundle

$10

Two books, one bundle, two Asian American voices telling the story from opposite ends of the microphone. First, a signed copy of Amplify! My Fight for Asian America by Dion Lim, the ABC7 anchor who became one of the most visible journalists in the country covering anti-Asian hate, part newsroom memoir and part reckoning with what you owe your community when you are the one holding the mic. Second, We Were Dreamers, Simu Liu's funny, sharp and surprisingly raw account of the improbable road from Harbin to Mississauga to Marvel. A $45 value with bidding opening at $10. Bid, read both, then pass them on.

218

Pour like a pro. Chubby Hands Ceramic is hosting a latte art class for the winning bidder, which means learning to steam milk to the right silky texture instead of boiling it into stiff foam, mastering the wrist flick, and finally producing a heart that reads as a heart rather than an abstract blob. It is a low-stakes, high-delight way to spend an afternoon, and unlike most classes, this is a skill you will use again tomorrow morning and every morning after that. A $150 value with bidding opening at $50. Bring a date, bring a friend, or go alone and come home with a new party trick. Bid and caffeinate.

Latte Art Workshop

Couples Gym Membership

New year, new you, and this time you have a partner in crime. Fitness SF is handing over a three-month couples membership good for two people, a $498 value, with bidding opening at $150. Their clubs are the ones San Franciscans actually stick with: well run, well equipped, and spread across the city so there is one near wherever you already are. The real value here is the second membership. Every study and every honest gym-goer will tell you the same thing, which is that having someone who notices when you skip is the single best predictor you will keep showing up. Grab your partner, your roommate or your most reliable friend, and let future-you write the thank you note.

220

Two gifts in one, and both are the kind people remember. Bradford Portraits is donating a professional family portrait session, the sort that produces the photo you actually frame, actually print and actually send out at the holidays, instead of the slightly blurry one somebody took on a phone three years ago. Paired with it is a luxury stay in Miami or Newport Beach, so you get the sunshine and the sand and then the picture that proves it happened. A $5,000 value with bidding opening at $300. Sun, salt air and a family photo where everyone looks good at the same time is a genuinely rare combination. Bring a bid that matches it, then go book the flights.

Photo Session & Beach Escape

Axiom Hotel Two Night Stay

You are within walking distance of the theaters, the shops, the cable car turnaround and roughly forty restaurants you have been meaning to try and never do, because you always end up in your own neighborhood. A $380 value with bidding opening at $150. Use it as a staycation, give it to visiting family so they stop sleeping on your couch, or save it for the weekend you finally decide not to drive home at midnight. Win this and go be a tourist in your own city.

Pandanggo Sa Ilaw (Dance of Li

$125

"Pandanggo sa Ilaw" celebrates the beauty and grace of Filipino dance, honoring a tradition where movement and light come together in quiet brilliance. Inspired by the folk dance known for its delicate balance of oil lamps, the piece reflects the discipline, poise, and storytelling carried through each gesture. The dancers become vessels of memory, illuminating not only the stage but the cultural pathways that have guided generations.

In this work, light serves as both symbol and guide-representing knowledge, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Filipino heritage. Passed down through ritual and performance, dances like Pandanggo sa Ilaw embody how culture is preserved not only in history, but in the body: in muscle memory, in rhythm, in breath. Each step is an act of remembrance, a way of keeping identity alive across time and distance.

226

Dotted Roses & Sunny Marigolds

$180

This special centerpiece bouquet combines two of my favorite signature styles into one arrangement: ivory roses made from both cardstock and white-dotted paper, surrounded by vibrant, layered marigolds in warm orange and soft coral pink.

Bar None's Wine Tasting for 2

$140

Mano Po (Your Hand Please)

$550

"Mano Po" speaks directly to lineage and respect-an intimate gesture that connects generations through touch. The act of bringing an elder's hand to one's forehead is simple, yet deeply symbolic: it is a quiet acknowledgment of wisdom, humility, and gratitude. In this piece, that fleeting moment is held still, allowing its emotional weight to surface-revealing how such a small gesture can carry the depth of an entire cultural philosophy.

As an immigrant, these rituals take on an even more profound meaning. Distance can blur language, customs, and familiarity, but gestures like mano po remain anchored in the body, instinctive and enduring. They become a way of preserving identity across borders, a physical link to family, ancestry, and the values that continue to shape who we are. Through this work, I reflect on how respect is not only taught but embodied-passed down through generations, sustained through memory, and kept alive through practice.

301

Grabe Ang Init (It's Crazy Hot

$550

"Grabe Ang Init" is playful at first glance, but beneath the humor lies a deeper tribute to strength, care, and authority within the Filipino household. The fan-so often used to cool the body in moments of heat-takes on a dual meaning here. It becomes an extension of the matriarch: ever-present, attentive, and commanding when needed. With a single motion, it can soothe, signal, or correct-embodying both tenderness and discipline.

In many Filipino families, women carry the weight of preserving structure, culture, and emotional balance. This piece honors those quiet acts of leadership-the unspoken rules, the watchful eyes, the gestures that kept everything in order. The fan, in this context, transforms from an everyday object into a symbol of resilience and authority, representing the women who held families together through warmth, sacrifice, and unwavering love.

303

Tsibog (Grub)

$550

"Tsibog" is pure nostalgia-an intimate return to the rituals that ground us. Eating with our hands-kamayan-is more than a way of sharing food; it's a language of connection, of presence, of trust. It invites us to slow down, to feel, to remember. In every shared meal, there is comfort and resilience-a quiet testament to survival and the ways we carry home within us. For immigrants, these moments become even more vital, a bridge between where we've been and where we are, nourishing not just our bodies but our sense of identity and belonging.

304

Tumbang Preso (Fallen Prisoner

$1,200

"Tumbang Preso" (toom-BAHNG PREH-so), meaning "fallen prisoner," was a cherished childhood game that consumed hours of our days-until sunset or until someone got hurt. Fiercely competitive, it remains a vivid part of my youth and inspires this painting, where I explore the intersections of memory, identity, and cultural history through a personal lens.

Though its exact origins are unclear, Tumbang Preso is believed to have emerged during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, shaped by both indigenous traditions and colonial influence. In this work, I center the condensed milk can we favored for its sturdy form-often a "Liberty Condensada" tin, branded with imagery that reflects colonial ideals of beauty. The game also relied on tsinelas (slippers), another colonial-era introduction that came to symbolize social status. These everyday objects, once part of play, now carry layered meanings-serving as quiet markers of history, resilience, and the complexities of cultural inheritance.

305

Tao Po (We're Here)

$400

Leave your slippers at the door! If you don't you might get a beating with those same slippers.

Tsinelas - that's what we called them. We wore them everywhere - at the beach, out shopping, playing sports, on the streets, to church and at school. The most important rule is, never step inside the house with your tsinelas!

An entryway overflowing with tsinelas signified that a home was full of love, family, friends and YES - food. The leaving of slippers at the door, followed by a casual "Tao Po!" ("We're Here!"), was indoctrinated as the practice of respecting one's home.

The Spanish "elite" imposed this footwear onto our culture as a symbol of status - and those without slippers were considered poor and lower class.Prior to the colonization of the Pacific Islands, indigenous Filipino people lived predominantly barefoot. Back then, a home's entry would have looked much different.

306

Tri Color Poppies

$80

The Icelandic Poppy holds a special place in my heart as the first paper flower I created after a long break from crafting that started when I moved from Japan to the US. It reconnected me with my passion for paper art. I periodically return to making poppies to measure my growth as an artist. With this piece, Tri Color Poppies, I draw inspiration from my Japanese background, focusing on the power of simplicity.

307

Sunny Marigolds

$55

As I expanded my art beyond crepe paper, I started experimenting with different paper mediums to find my own artistic voice. Sunny Marigolds is crafted from standard cardstock. However, its vibrant color and detailed, frilled petals draw people in. It brings me so much joy to see people pick this arrangement as a thoughtful gift for someone special.

308

White Dotted Bougainvillea

$90

This piece reflects my core philosophy as a paper artist, inspired by Ruth Asawa's learning at Black Mountain College: I do not force a material to change, but instead listen to what makes it special and let its natural character guide the form. This white-dotted paper captivated me for a long time, but it took time to find the right use for it. When creating a bougainvillea arrangement, I realized this paper was perfect. Its wax-coated dots offer flexibility and capture the delicate, paper-thin nuance of bougainvillea petals.

309

Diffuser Paper Flowers

$40

This is an innovative functional piece: reed diffuser sticks topped with handcrafted paper flowers. The petals are made of water-resistant stone paper, so they never droop or fade from absorbing oil, while the absorbent paper core delivers a rich, steady scent. It is a unique design built for both style and utility. (Includes diffuser oil, ready to use).

Bulb-shaped Ear Cuff w/ Dotted

Tears of Change

Graphic illustration print, printed on archival paper. I created this at time when I was deeply grieving the horrors of our country, and remembered that our grief and our tears carry wisdom. They connect us to our humanity and are needed. Instead of getting stuck by our grief, how can it move us towards creating change in our lives and our communities?

Star Sisters

$20

Graphic illustration print, printed on archival paper. Three AANHPI sisters connected through the stars. AANHPI women are so diverse in our beauty, going far beyond the east asian features of beauty that are often depicted to & of us. This piece represents the different skin tones and hair textures that weave and connect us together, intentionally leaning towards darker skin tones, as someone who was always criticized for my darker complexion growing up. AANHPI women often tell me this piece is one of art pieces they've been able to truly see themselves and their loved ones in.

Seven Crystal Chakras

$95

A 7-crystal art piece, with each crystal representing & supporting the energetics of its corresponding chakra. The idea of energetic centers in the body can be found across multiple ancient cultures and religions, many of them rooted in Asian civilizations. While a lot of these spiritual practices and ideologies have been colonized and popularized in western spaces, there remains deep ancestral wisdom that we are connected to. This is a powerful grounding art piece to have in your space connect you to that wisdom within you.

Year of the Fire Horse

$20

Printed graphic illustration of the Year of the Fire Horse. This interpretation of the Fire Horse blends traditional Chinese elements with a modern style; it balances the masculine with the feminine; it embodies both elegance and power to symbolize the spirit of the Horse. This print is part of my larger series of the Chinese zodiac sign illustrations, including Year of the Tiger, Snake, and Ox prints!

Geometric Crystal Suncatcher

$55

These unique handcrafted suncatchers bring together multiple elements of nature - hand-selected crystals that each hold a different healing & metaphyiscal element combined with suncatcher prisms that each harness the beauty & power of the sun. In a world that is always seeking more, these suncatchers invite us to slow down and find beauty in the simplicity of light.

I also incorporate different symbols or spiritual elements into the suncatchers, such as lotus flowers, snakes, butterflies, and stars that bring great significance to the person the suncatcher is meant for.
