I’m not sure if you’ve noticed the radio silence on the blog but it’s been inaccessible to me for a bit and I finally have access again. Regardless, I’ve been missing it and as someone who has been blogging since early days (even if sporadically) it is a big part of the way I express myself through my business and I’m glad to be back.
Mother’s Day is next weekend and I’ve pulled together a gift guide. In general, Gather Goods Co is always a cozy, “treat yourself” kind of space with lots of feminine energy so basically everything in the shop would be a good choice to gift the mother in your life. And while it is by no means a monolithic concept these are some things I recommend.
Also, since I’ve last posted, the space has transitioned from online and open by appointment only to having regular shop hours of Wednesday-Saturday 11am-5pm. Gather Goods Co is located at 417 Kildaire Farm Road, Cary, NC 27511. We are in a standalone white house nestled between a handful of residences and a large new under construction building. Everything is also available online 24/7 at www.gathergoodsco.com.
Mother’s Day Gift Picks:
- Books about creating a cozy, sensory forward home: The Sensory Home, Home Therapy, My Hygge Home
- A gingham crossbody bag handmade in France
- A casual but sweet everyday bracelet featuring gold beads
- An elegant spa-like candle
- Colorful taper candles to make at home meals more special
- Whimsical paper butterflies that are an unexpected but super fun treat
- A brass face ring that is funky and elegant
- “I Simply Adore You” Gather Goods Co card (designed by me) featuring blooms from a butterfly bush
- “Empowered Women Empower the World” tshirt. Enough said.
- Pretty ceramic dinnerware to mix and match and make serving cookies or salads even more elevated
- A Gather Goods Co gift certificate so she can pick out whatever she wants
- Turmeric powder for making healthy and tasty golden lattes at home
- A gorgeous embroidery kit for relaxing away from the phone
Also, this Saturday, local massage therapists AriaVida will be offering FREE chair massages from 12-4pm (we’re open from 11am-5pm), and I’ll be offering 20% off all gifts in the Gather Goods Co shop (this does not include flowers from the florist in the space or books from the pop-up bookshop) and non-alcoholic mimosas. If you are local, hope to see you there!
