What's New & Fabulous...
Gift Item of the Week:
Boxed Cold Sake Set
Here's a great gift for your favorite cold sake lover. The set comes in a handsome unfinished wooden box with compartments for its 6 sake cups, sake pitcher and test tube-shaped icer. You pour water and a little salt (so the ice doesn't expand) in the icer and stick it in the freezer. When it's time to serve, you pour your sake in the pitcher and slide the test tube in the top of the pitcher to chill it. Genius!
Momiji Dolls
These super-adorable Momiji Dolls are a huge craze in their native Japan. Made of heavyweight resin, they're about 3-1/4" tall and come in their own individually styled tins. Each (of course) has a story (Mabel likes scrabble, brass bands and goats!). Enhancing the dolls' gift potential is a slot in the bottom of each doll with a pull-out tag so you can personalize your present.
Burn Voyage Candles
New to us are these fabulous Burn Voyage soy candles. These travel votives burn up to 35 hours and come in a heavyweight, tight-fitting box that ensures that they are protected and that the lid won't detach in your luggage. Great gift and great fragrances!
We're currently stock Golden State (Citrus zest, Tangerine, Orange, Grapefruit, Red Currant), Azure Seas (Island Gardenia, Tuberose, Frangipani, Jasmine, Sea Mist), and Silver Springs (Fresh Water, Ozone Accords, Pine, Alpine Herbs).
Nathalie's Own Linen Napkins
These heavy-weight linen napkins make great housewarming gifts or a classy addition to your dining table. They come in sets of 4 and are available in two sizes - dinner and cocktail in a variety of patterns.
Super-soft Blankies
From French company, Moncalin, come these hyper-cuddly "Flat Cats" - better known as "blankies," or "ooeys" or any number of cutesy terms. All we know is that they make great baby gifts. Available in a bunch of different color combo's for boys, girls or either.
Art Magnets
From MFA Leia Bell come these fantastic original miniature pieces of art. They're screenprinted and ready to stick to your fridge or any other metal surface that needs a touch of funky class.
Elsie Q Baby Tee's & Onesies
We just discovered this delicious line of baby clothes from a designer who recently fled Brooklyn, New York for the low rent and less stressful life Michigan has to offer. The pieces feature whimsical overprints of teacups, bears and motorcycles.
Stainless Steel Flasks
We have a beautiful array of stainless steel flasks in the store - everything from a purse-friendly 3 ounce nipster to a manly 18 ounce vessel big enough to fuel a box full of folks at the Bowl. Bottoms up!
Self-Storing Shopping Bags
We love this new line of eco-friendly shopping bags made of rip-stop nylon. They have a 25 lb capacity and compress to a purse-friendly 3" ball in seconds. They're washable in cold water and come in a rainbow of vibrant colors. So much better for the environment than plastic bags! $12 ea.
Such a Baby (section)!
Our Baby & Toddler inventory continues to grow - as well as our stock of eco-friendly kids wear. In addition to our line of bamboo clothing, we've added onesies, bodysuits, hats and reversible hoodies that are 50% soy fiber, 50% cotton and 100% adorable. Bamboo and soy are both highly renewable natural resources and dry more quickly than cotton helping protect litte ones from rashes. Also new are incredibly cute baby toe shoes from the same company that makes them for the New York City Ballet and floaty tulle tutu's for budding ballerinas.
Nathalie's Own Ltd Edition Baby Dresses
