We love to shop small and support local, just like you! So, we’ve put together this gift guide featuring products from our favourite vendors who are both geographically close, and near and dear to our hearts.
Have a browse! Our hope is that we can help you find that perfect gift for the special people on your list!
FOR THE HOMEBODY
Let’s be real, most of us are homebody’s these days. And if you aren’t and can’t relate, then this portion of the guide will certainly assist you in finding the ultimate homebody gift.
Charleston & Harlow
Can you ever go wrong with a candle? We think not! Charleston & Harlow candles make a great gift; they are consciously crafted for a clean burn with nostalgic scents, and are hand-poured in Saskatoon, SK.
A lovely holiday scent, and always a best seller: ‘Sprucin’ Up The Joint’, featuring notes of icy blue spruce needles, cool mint, holly berries, and crisp winter’s air. Available as a Candle in an 8oz glass jar, or as a Room & Linen Spray.
Have a Homebody friend whose got a lot on their plate? We recommend a ‘Let That Shit Go’ candle; a reminder and a giggle, all in one.
Prairie Chick Prints
Prairie Chick Prints is based out of Edmonton, AB and their mugs are funny and relatable. We know the homebody sits at home drinking coffee and/or tea all day – so why not gift them something they will ACTUALLY use and give them a little laugh this holiday season?
If The Homebody just so happens to be a plant parent, the “Crazy Plant Lady” mug would certainly make a superb gift for them.
FOR THE ACCESSORY AFICIONADO
Blush Silks
Blush Silks is based out of Manitoba, and uses the highest grade of Silk. Talk about QUALITY! We carry a wide range of their gorgeous silk scrunchies and, newly, CLAW CLIPS.
Claw clips are back, baby. And we’re here for it. These claw clips come in a variety of colours, and all have a soft, matte finish. We don’t know about you, but we’ve been grabbing the claw clip a lot more often these days. Not only is it a cute accessory, but they make it SO easy to throw your hair up and look put together within seconds. We just know that the accessory aficionado would be ecstatic to receive one.
Rogue Jewelry Designs
Based out of Regina, SK, Rogue Jewelry Designs offers a wide variety of styles to appease anyone! Our most recent item from them is the gorgeous Tarot Card Necklaces. These necklaces are incredibly unique, they come perfectly packaged and ready to gift with their own tarot card! Another fave is the ‘Check It Out’ Huggies. Totally retro, and totally rad.
Isla Rae Jewelry
We carry a range of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets from Isla Rae Jewelry. These pieces are handmade by Leanne in Saskatchewan, and she creates to empower women and provide a timeless and effortless look. A staff favourite: The Mayan Sun Necklace. This necklace gives off all the warm and loving energy with its gorgeous, gold sun charm.
FOR THE KIDS
We wanted to highlight two new brands that we’ve recently brought to the shop for the kiddos – Kindly The Label and Oak + Acorn. These brands provide high quality fabrics and have such cute and unique pieces.
Kindly The Label
An item we think is just so adorable is the cotton gingham dress from Kindly The Label. Your little one will certainly get a lot of wear out of this piece. It’s playful, airy, and soft. Pair it with the high-top canvas shoes for the cutest little outfit!
Oak + Acorn
We are absolutely LOVING the teether collection from Oak + Acorn. There is the Rising Sun and the Leaf collection, featuring 3 colour options in each. A no brainer for the newest addition to your gift list J.
FOR THE FRIEND WHO’S “ALWAYS COLD”
Tofino Towel Co.
Okay, who doesn’t want a gorgeous blanket to snuggle into on a chilly, winter evening? The friend who is always cold would be ever so grateful. Tofino Towel Blankets are thoughtfully designed in British Columbia, and these blankets are handmade by Traditional Artisans in Turkey.
Gift them the Capella Waffle Throw and they will never leave their house again. Since it is Winter, this is something they will probably be okay with…
Auclair Mitts
Best-seller alert! Our ‘Kiva’ Finger Mitts from Auclair have been a customer favourite four years running. Available in a variety of colours and made from Genuine Sheep Leather.
Featuring Thermolite Insulation, SUPER soft Microfleece Lining, and the so very loved Finger Mitt Glove on the inside; these are sure to last and keep you warm through the harsh, cold winters.
FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE-TO-BUY-FOR
Little May Papery
Introducing our newest vendor…Little May Papery. A stationary company based in Calgary that creates playful, whimsical gifts. We are absolutely loving their enamel keychains. A great stocking stuffer, and a unique gift for that friend who has everything.
Friday Sock Co.
Let’s be real – the older we get the more we appreciate a good pair of socks! And getting them as a gift is even better. The most adorable designs from Friday Sock Co feature purposely mismatched pairs for a unique gift. With options for men, women, and kids! From Mr & Mrs Clause to German Shepards to Rain & Clouds, the options are endless.
