Stocking Fillers

I love little gifts at Christmas, either to fill up a stocking, or as a little token for a new friend or visiting relative. Here are some that we have in store that may be appealing to you and yours…

The Wizard of Oz is one of my favourite films—this trinket box would be perfect for the film buff in your life.  $12
This thoughts and blessings box comes from close to home, made by my artist sister Frances Hansen, who also created the Keepsakes book. This is a lovely gift for a close friend. $19
Swans always appeal to me in a design sense, from paintings to statues. This candle is whimsical and charming, and so much more interesting than a classic scented candle. $39

Want to add some sparkle to someone’s life? These rhinestone baubles are just the trick. $10

These patchwork reindeer come from the craft regions of India, where they are created by artisans in traditional workshops. I like to source beautiful things in this way, as it keeps traditional craft skills alive, but also provides a source of income for families in these regions. A gift with heart. $49
