Gifts Under $30

Why do I love gifts under $30?  Easy…They’re little, they’re cute, and they’re almost always cuddly!

This time of year, customers are in search of a special something for a friend or co-worker.  When they ask for help, they seem kind of embarrassed when they say their budget is around $30.  What’s wrong with $30?!  Absolutely nothing!  Gifts aren’t about the money you spend, they are about the effort, thought and attention that goes into choosing the perfect gift.  You get that.  We get that.  Our designers get that too. They work really hard this time of year to craft beautiful, handmade, special gifts for under $30.

Here are some of my absolute favourite under $30 picks this year:

$9 – Soap Scum, “Soap for dirty people”.  These stocking stuffers are an absolute steal!  We can barely keep up with the demand for these sassy soaps with amazing scents so hurry in before they are all sold out!

$13 – Bennie and Olive Coinpurses.  The images on these vinyl coin purses are of dioramas that depict Alberta wildlife.  Cheeky Canadiana at its best!

$20 – Loot hand silk-screened leather earrings.  These earrings are totally recycled, super light and come in amazing colours!

$20 – Fish on Fridays Political Finger Puppets.  In a town like Ottawa, need I say more?

$22 – Pottery by Helen.  This beautiful pottery makes a lovely gift that will be well-loved for years to come.

$24 – Anna Zygowski Mittlets.  Everybody needs these soft, gorgeous mittlets, for hands free loooove in the winter!

Thanks for reading!  Don’t forget to come by the store on Wednesday, December 9th for the Dalhousie Shopping Night!  The party goes from 6 – 9 and there will be treats and a 10% discount on EVERYTHING in the store!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Trunk Sale.  It’s hard to believe that it was exactly one week ago!  We saw so many happy ladies walk away with their “steal of a deal” deals safe in their Workshop bags.  Judging by the smiles on your faces, we’re guessing that you had as much fun as we did!

Emily rocks the black 3/4 length sleeved Anna Zygowski top...

But that was then, and this is now.

And right now, we want to show you photos of some of the brand new Anna Zygowski jersey tees.  Check out lovely staffer Emily modeling the gorgeous jersey tees, then come to the store to see them in person.  At $65 for the 3/4 length sleeve tees and $60 for the short sleeve tees, they won’t last long!

...and the gray!

New autumn pieces are arriving at the store daily, so why not pay us a visit this weekend?
