There’s nothing like giving the gift of self-care and relaxation during the holidays.
These eucalyptus peppermint shower steamers from Earth Market will transform your bathroom into a spa with gentle and invigorating aromatherapy. They make the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone looking to wind down during the busy holiday season (and no one would blame you for slipping some into your own stocking either).
In a Pickle
The Christmas Tree Pickle is the perfect holiday tradition to start in your home this year. Or in someone else’s!
ADM Design is bringing the German tradition to Newmarket, where you can find this gorgeous and slightly hilarious tree ornament to hide in the branches. You might need to pick up another gift from this list as a reward for whoever finds the elusive pickle.
The Holiday Cup
