Gifts for Mom

Saturday, May 9th will be our last open "Take-out" day before Mother's Day! Drop by the shop between noon and 3:00 and we'll bring the items you request to you outside the door. You can make purchases at the curbside. To keep us all safe we are slathering everything (including ourselves) with disinfectant and peeking out from behind our masks ;).

We've put together some gifts that we think mom will love ('cause we love them and we're moms). Buy them as a group and we'll put them in a lovely box with a gift tag and ribbon or choose any item individually.

The ultimate Mother's Day gift! Luxe hand soap and hand cream paired with a lovely scented candle from Formulary 55 is just the thing to soothe those over-washed hands!

What a couple! A book of inspiring postcards from an old friend (named Barack) and a thoughtful journal from Michelle. Pair with a lovely citrus crush scented candle for some much needed bliss!

Spoil Mom with a little Kate Spade stationery love. Surely she'll need some special notecards for pandemic correspondence and a Kate Spade pen or mechanical pencil to match the journal + the notecards. A little scented bliss comes in the form of this lidded ceramic candle with Coconut Mango Milk scent.

Plants really bring the indoors to life! We just picked up a nice variety of some amazing fresh plants. Pair a unique pot, basket or macrame hanger! This cool, handmade (in Burien) wooden planter (lower right side) is among the many options. A good plant book is a thoughtful addition to a plant gift. I love "Leaf Supply". Pretty enough to be a coffee table book, it combines basic plant instructions with inspiring pics for styling with plants and fun bios of some cool "plant people" - all with a British flair!

A few things to usher in a little calmness - tailor made for this strange time. A quality writing instrument like this gold rollerball pen with a magnet top lends a feeling a authority.

Spread a little love

Find all the Valentine goodies in our Burien Shop!

Valentines Day is my favorite holiday! It doesn't demand the all-out over-the-top gift giving experience that Christmas has come to require. Just a sweet little something to give that response of delight! Drop by our shop and step into our happy, heart-filled world of gifts to express your affection!

Of course we have delicious candy treats - beautiful non-pareil cherry hearts {as yummy as they pretty}, Seattle Chocolate specialty chocolate bars, Fran's salted chocolate caramels, chocolate toffee treats and more!

Be sure to pick out a card that says just the right thing: romantic, silly, pretty, witty, kid-friendly, or even a little naughty! We still have a dizzying assortment so you might want to reserve a little time for a proper search ;).

Now a gift to go with the candy and card! How about a fresh houseplant in a lovely new pot? {We are SOOO excited about this new obsession}. OR choose from our selection of books: Love Poems (for people with kids), Modern Love {fresh from the Prime series}, Sarah Adler's new cookbook, Simply Real Eating... OR maybe a lovely pair of earrings, or necklace... OR so many sweet little something-somethings!

We hope to see you in our Burien shop on Friday, Nov. 15 from 5:00 to 8:00! This is your opportunity to choose your very favorite Christmas wrapping paper and save 15%! The selection of really pretty papers this year is amazing! Wrapping presents with beautiful papers and ribbon is one of my favorite holiday activities and a tag written in lovely calligraphy is the frosting on the cake. Alicia will be on hand to write custom gift tags in calligraphy to coordinate with your gift wrap. (If you haven't taken a calligraphy class yet this might be just the motivation you've been waiting for!)

In addition to the gorgeous papers, we are delighted with the assortment of books, candles, jewelry, wraps, bags, stocking-stuffers and more goodies filling our shelves. Our hope is that you'll find a few perfect gifts for the ones you love!
