3 Great Gifts for Hosts

Grinch trees are a festive gift ($30 for regular, $50 for deluxe) that will last as an indoor houseplant beyond the holidays.  They are locally grown Golden Cypress trees, all dressed up for the holidays.  Once you've greeted the new year, you can unwind the wire that makes them so grinchy & straighten them upwards in their pot.

Mini orchids are perfect for a touch of colour ($25).  Brighten up your desk space or counter during the grey winter months.  & if you need one for a host gift, they come with care cards so the receiver will feel well equipped to watch over their new plant.

Luxurious soaps are an excellent addition to any home's decor.  They are a visually decadent delight.  Simpatico soaps ($18, pictured below, top row) are pure vegetable soap enhanced with shea butter and olive oil for added moisture and protection.  Mor Emporium soaps ($25, pictured below, bottom row) are also vegetable-based and contain Vitamin E and Shea Butter.

Mini Orchids

We've just received new potted mini orchids!  They are $25 & come in a range of different shades & stages of blooming, but all the perfect size to treat yourself to a little color during the winter months.

They also make a great gift for the host of that holiday party you're going to.  Or for all of the holiday parties you're attending this year.

In Anticipation of the Holidays

The holidays are in full swing in the shop!

Our Ontario-grown Christmas trees are brought in from the Sloan Nursery, a farm that has been cared for by four generations of the Sloan family.  We've got a variety of different heights to fit perfectly in your home.  Not only that, but you can arrange delivery & set-up as well!

& look no further for beautiful & unique tree decorations, we have got you covered.  Do you need an octopus?  A whale?

What about a rabbit with glitter stripes?  Or a ship?

& guess what?  If you live out of town, or your schedule is filled to the brim - you can check out Sweetpea's at Shopcaster to order items to be shipped directly to you.

Customize your holiday season to fit you perfectly with less stress.  & if that involves owls on your Christmas tree, then so be it!
