Scout’s Holiday Gift Guide

Posted on

The store is at its fullest, and I am still waiting on shipments!

Here is a small collection of highly coveted items in the shop for him and her this Christmas season.

For Her

The Hobo Lauren Clutch is THE fave at the shop.  Lots of colours to choose from. Personally, I’m a sucker for the ginger. Works as a wallet or on its own as a clutch for a night out.

The Good Girl bag from Erin Templeton is GORGEOUS! Spoil her with a bag that will last a lifetime.  Handmade in Vancouver.

The Flora necklace from Zippan never goes out of style.  A classic piece available in three sizes. Sterling silver and handcut in Toronto. Also has earrings to match.

This quartz bracelet with an assortment of vintage gunmetal and gold plated chains from Toodlebunny is the only one like it!  For that special, one of a kind lady.

I’ve got my shelf of Henderson Dry Goods filled back up just in time for the holidays! Her laser cut walnut earrings with 14k gold fill posts are a statement piece that don’t weigh your ears down.

Now that we’ve got her ears, neck and wrist covered, she’s going to need somewhere to put her new jewels!  This porcelain antler jewellery holder from Imm Living is the perfect display.

Cokluch mittens will no doubt keep her hands cozy all winter long. Made from recycled leather and lined with fleece, these Montreal designers know a thing or two about keeping warm.

This gorgeous cowl from Emmylou Knits is hand made in Toronto with 100% Peruvian wool. The colour of wool is really unique, green with bits of red and blue woven in.

Julie Sinden hats are popular with all the women in the neighborhood.  This is her newest style.  The Turban Hat comes in black, brown, camel and dark grey.  Boiled merino wool and made in Toronto.

For Him

What’s more manly than an eagle carrying an anchor?  Not much.  This mirror will give him more than just his good looks to ogle over.

Identity Apparel pillows are back in stock! Made from recycled army blankets and screen printed with geese, a bear or these antlers.  Any of the designs will be perfect for him to cuddle up to in his man cave.

These wolf cuff links are made of solid jewelers bronze and measure 1″ long x 3/4″ across. Each cuff link is cast in one solid piece of metal.

Also available in white bronze.

New toiletry kits have arrived! Constructed out of heavy canvas and lined with water resistant PEVA. Other designs available.

Lots of great Banquet Workshop prints to choose from. They measure 50×70 cm making them a perfect fit for an Ikea frame. Made in Vancouver!

This large CBC duffel bag is the perfect size for an over nighter or to take to the gym. Sturdy shoulder straps and heavy canvas, plus, who doesn’t love CBC?!

For the man that likes to cook! Swaine Street Woodworking cutting boards are a beautiful addition to any kitchen.  Handmade with FSC certified wood in Halifax.

Lots of Iphone cases back in stock (unfortunately none for the iphone 5 yet).  This fits the 4/4S giving it an earthy look, who knew an iphone could look earthy.

Lots of t-shirts for him in the shop! Fluffyco just stocked me up with lots of sizes and some new designs.  They go fast though!

We’ve also got all your gift wrapping needs! Rolls of  wrap as well as single sheets.
