A Few of Our Favorite Things
This season, we’re sharing a few of our favorite gift ideas from other small businesses. These are things we use, things we love, and things we’re proud to give. They’re built to last, made with intention, and come with the kind of heart that only a small business can bring.

For Very Busy Folks
Steel Canvas Natural Tote Bag - These bags are, sturdy, classic, and can hold a mountain of items. We use one to carry your packages to the post office sometimes.
---
For a Bit of Pampering
Alchimie Forever's Kantic Calming Cream - Kelli has been using this moistuizer for nearly 20 years, and just stocked up because nothing feels better in cold weather.
Barr Co. Original Scent Shea Butter Lotion - While we love all of this line (the lip balm, hand cream, etc.), this lotion lasts forever, and is the perfect weight year-round.

For a Thoughtful Host
B& Thornwood Candle - Buck & Bette is a local Old Try retailer, so we often deliver prints in person as an excuse to shop. They have a small line of candles based on people and places close to them, and this Thornwood scent is earthy and spicy, but not overpowering.

For an Incredible Cook
J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works Finishing Salt - Can you believe the magic that is sea salt harvested in a landlocked state? J.Q. Dickinson here in WV harvests salt from a saltwater aquifer deep under the valley where we live for some of the most delicious finishing salt your tongue will ever taste. We love the Heirloom on top of chocolate chip cookies, or add the Ramp salt on savory dishes for a double-hit of Appalachian flavor.

For a Colorful Friend
Blenko 384 Water Bottle - Blenko Glass has been hand-blowing glass in a neighboring town for more than 100 years. And while you can find dozens of items in various shapes, sizes, and colors, nothing is more iconic than their water bottles, art that is also useful.

For the Sports Fan
Mitchell Bat Co. Bats - These vintage-inspired bats are works of art, and an unexpected keepsake for any baseball fan.
College Cityscapes Rocks Glasses - Remember the good ol' days while sipping something you never could have afforded while in your ratty college apartment.
