FOR HIM

Dopp kits from Izola make a great gift for the man in your life! Where does the name Dopp come from you ask? The name derives from early 20th century leather craftsman Charles Doppelt, a German immigrant to the United States, who invented his toiletry case in 1919.

And you can fill his new Dopp kit up with a plethora of products from Sam’s Naturals!  A new line I’ve just brought into the shop. They’ve got your guy covered with everything from after shave & shave soap to moustache wax and beard oil.

This weekend it’s December! Even if you aren’t ready to think about gifts (which let’s be honest, you should be unless you’re one of those last minute do it all on Christmas eve shoppers) it’s time to think about cards! I have a STELLAR selection of cards this year. Am I allowed to say that? It’s thanks to all the amazing designers I get to bring into the shop so I think I am :) Six out of the thirteen featured are Canadian companies too! YAY!

Papillon Press is from Sudbury On.  I love this gorgeous letterpress birch card Printed on eco-friendly bamboo paper.  It’s blank on the inside and is available both boxed as a set of 6, or in singles.

Banquet Workshop is a newer company in the shop for me.  From Vancouver, they make the gorgeous prints I have up on my walls.  Love the rudolph polar bear card.  Offset printed on recycled paper in Canada. Measures 5.5 x 4.25 inches. Available as singles.

Night Owl Paper Goods has adorable critter Christmas cards.  Owls (of course), sloths, monkeys and this little guy! Available as singles, lots of there other styles with this great wood grain background are available boxed.

I’ve brought Wendy Tancock in over the holidays! I’ve already sold out of a bunch of her Toronto focused Christmas cards.  They are all wonderful, this one with the Mason Jar is especially nice. Available as singles only. Made in Toronto!

I have a lot of fans of Rifle Paper Co. coming into the shop. You have to see this card in person to see how gorgeous it is. Printed full colour with gold foil. Available as a single card or boxed set of 8.

I know a lot of people that this card would be appropriate for. For the shameless present lover (if you can’t read the smaller print click to see it enlarged)! Available as singles by Sycamore Street Press in Utah!

Regional Assembly of Text has a whole new slew of their awesome button cards for the holiday season.  This is my new favourite.  Available in singles only.

Drum Roll please. I’ve already had to re-order this card because of it’s obvious (non-censored) slothy, awesomeness! Laura George , you’re amazing! Made in Chicago.

There you have it! Just a small taste of cards Scout has to offer this year.  They go quick so if you see one you like, come get it before it’s gone!

So I promised not to bombard you too early with ALL that is Christmas.. but I’ve been getting some amazing cards in and I know some of you like to get those mailed out earlier in the month.  Choosing only a few was no easy task, but here are my favourite Christmas cards!

Faux wood background, cute snowy little christmas owls.  What’s not to love!

From Kid Icarus! A super cute/cheeky Christmas card! Check off whether you’ve been naughty or nice..or bitchy..or mean..

Beautiful letterpress card from Dutch Door Press. Available in singles or boxed!

Rifle Card Co. makes beautiful hand painted cards.  Also available as singles or in boxed sets.

From the always amazing Regional Assembly of Text, a card that comes with a pin stating the obvious.. we could all use a little more booze over the holidays.

These cards from Little Otsu are..in a category all their own. Camping and skiing santas, for those that prefer a non traditional card for the holidays.

Last but not least, a card from Eggpress co.  They do letterpress, they do printed, they do unique, beautiful and sometimes funny!
