Oishii Adventure: Holiday Gift List 2014

Those who know me, know that I start my x-mas shopping early. I'm on the hunt for good gifts all year long.

In fact, the date stamp on my 2014 holiday gift list is dated December 25, 2013. I actually jotted down gift ideas after getting home from all the celebrations; surprising given my turkey coma state ;) August marks the official get down to holiday business kick-off, with the goal of having it all done by the end of November

Here are some of the items I have on my radar for the gardening lovers in my life:

Gear

These Hunter rain boots are great for keeping your tootsies warm and dry, particularly when opening and putting your garden to bed.

The pockets on this linen apron are perfect for keeping essentials handy and the linen keeps things cool and breezy during the hot summer months. Made by yours truly! You can find it in my Etsy Store Shannon Fraser Designs.

Skincare

The following skincare products are both from Ella’s Botanicals. As you know, her products are a recent discovery of mine; however, I have come to love and rely on my Lavender Bliss Hydrating Lotion. I particularly enjoy this right before bedtime for a little boost of relaxation.

If you've ever spent time gardening, you know it can be back breaking work. Reach for Ella’s Botanicals Rescue Balm to help ease the pain. If you find a tin, snag it quick as these puppies sell out quick!

Workshop

For those living in/ around Toronto, a terranium workshop with Crown Flora Studio may be just what the gardener needs to get them through the winter season!

Otherwise, you could have this terranium sent right to you by Sea of Tree.

Seeds

It’s never too early to start preparing for next season’s gardening season. If you’re on the hunt for organic ethically grown seeds – check out Nutritional Hobbyist or Cubits two fellow Etsy sellers located in Canada.

Look at these organic heirloom thyme seeds from the Nutritional Hobbyist:

I'm in love with these organic watermelon radish daikon seeds by Cubits:

This vegetable garden tin, also from Cubits, would be perfect for someone looking to start a vegetable garden, or even as a house warming gift. I'm eyeing one of these for myself!
