In the shop: our favourite gift ideas this holiday
Here's a quick round up of five of our staff favourites for gift giving this year:
1. A handcrafted Native Solitary Bee house by Among The Pines
This is our first year carrying these gorgeous bee houses and we are super excited to have such unique pieces in stock to help to support an important mission. These unique homes are built to support our native solitary bee population, providing native solitary bees with safe nesting at a time when their natural homes are threatened. Native solitary bees do not make honey and do not sting, and are far more effective pollinators than honey bees. Not just for homes with gardens, these can be placed on sheltered balconies too. Each come with a small sheet of bee facts and instructions.
2. A knitted cactus from Thorn and Needle
This Montreal based maker is another new line for us and we're delighted to carry his work. Knitted cacti that are guaranteed to make even the worst " plantkiller' happy!
3. A flower subscription!
Just about everyone loves a happy bouquet of flowers to brighten up their home, but most people don't treat themselves, feeling maybe that's to indulgent even though they know they would love it. So this is the perfect way to let a flower lover in your life enjoy beautiful blooms. Its easy to set up, we sell them in packs of 4 at two price points and you get a discount with each purchase. Give for the next four weeks, or once a month for the next four months till Toronto finally thaws, there are many ways to gift a subscription. You can read all about here.
4. The ultimate guide to handlettering by our good friend Doris Wai, the book "Extraordinary Handlettering" is a beautiful guide to adding a personal touch to every occasion. We contributed to one of the projects in the book, making a large 8 foot x 8 foot floral wall (which you can find on page 126) AND we have copies signed by the author on sale at the shop!
5. The perfect stocking stuffer, these large size flour sack tea towels are screen printed locally by artist Paula Lukey come in various botanical cacti prints.
