Staff Picks: Holiday Gifting!

Sharing some of our favorite seasonal gifts!

Amber

Beverly Bees Cat Candle

Got a feline fan in your life? This adorable, locally-crafted candle makes the purr-fect gift!

Mike

Goodnow Farms

It's really good chocolate. You really can't go wrong. They do it all in house, and they do it RIGHT.

Amber

Taza Spiked Eggnog Chocolate Disc


I wait eagerly every year for this seasonal sensation to arrive. This 55% dark chocolate, redolent with flavors of nutmeg and rum, is the perfect warming winter treat. 

Dev

Everyday Oil - Mainstay

Everyday Oil's Mainstay blend truly lives up to its name, as I've been using it after showers for years now and plan on sharing the love in gift form! It's a great time to support them in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, since they're headquartered in Black Mountain, NC.'

Rose

Potager Soap Company Bar Soap Minted Lemon Tea

Some soaps just look fancy, and that's their only selling point. Not Potager. This locally made soap is organic, fair trade, vegan, and has an incredible scent and delightful packaging to boot. It makes a lovely gift for the person who you know appreciates well crafted and beautiful products, as well as for the person who might not be inclined to splurge on themselves.

Brenden

Sweet Dreams - Small Heat Wrap (Assorted Patterns)

’Tis the season to give the gift warmth. This is for anyone and everyone. Whether the recipient deals with aches and pains, or needs extra comfort through hard days, this is the gift for them. Support for the person you care about, even when they think they don't need it!

DIY Local Tea Sampler: Mem Earl GreyMem Masala ChaiMem Golden BudsMem Vanilla RooibosSweet Birch Herbals: Heart LiftingSweet Birch Herbals: Sleep DeepSweet Birch Herbals: Immune, Respiratory & Allergies

There are ample options for this fun DIY gift but below are some varieties I know are delicious and am thinking of including myself! I like that this idea leaves room for your own personal touches and can be tweaked accordingly. You could fill your own tea bags or jars- both of which can be found at CN. Happy Gifting ❤ 

Shannon

Maggie's Mountain Hiker Socks in Heathered Purple & Heathered Green

I have many avid hikers in my family so I can't wait to gift them these gorgeous and warm wool socks from Maggie's Organics!

Emily

Farmhouse Pottery Wassail Candle

I adore our year-round candle selection (especially our beautiful beeswax tapers!) but I look forward to this gorgeous, limited edition Yuletide-themed candle from Farmhouse Pottery every December, which fills my home with the delicious scents of freshly cut pine, evergreen boughs, spicy clove, and a little hint of log fire. 

Caleb

Upstate Elevator Supply Co. Deep Calm CBN 10 mg + CBD 50mg Gummies Raspberry 30CT

Happy Holidays! Feeling stressed? Trouble sleeping? These Deep Calm CBN + CBD gummies might just be a new favorite part of your (or a loved one’s) bedtime routine. 

Molly

Marin Lip Treatment Blueberry French Toast

The Marin Lip treatments would make a luxe stocking stuffer for the skincare lover in your life! They are a cool local Maine company utilizing marine glycoproteins from lobster to create amazingly moisturizing products. Perfect for battling the dreaded cold weather chapped lips. AND they come in deliciously cozy flavors like Blueberry French Toast, Campfire S'mores, and a Holiday Limited edition Gingerbread.

Daisy

Miya Spoon Otter Light Brown/Dark Brown

Who doesn't love Otters? I certainly do! So for everyone in your life who loves them too (or just appreciates an adorable animal) I present the Otter Spoon. Designed to rest on the edge of your cup, this otter is the perfect companion for your tea, coffee, matcha, and more!

Ellie

Badger Orange Spice Holiday Jumbo Lip Balm

These BIG seasonal lip balms in 3 varieties are warming and hydrating for parched winter skin. I use them on my hands too in a pinch - there's enough to go around!

Felt So Good Ornaments (Sammy Snowcrab & Agnes the Mouse)

Felt So Good ornaments are new to the store this year and I am OBSESSED.  These Fair Trade ornaments are whimsical, colorful and extremely well crafted down to the tiniest detail. Sammy Snowcrab has been our most popular this year but I am also a devoted fan of Agnes the Mouse
