The holidays are here, and it’s time to make sure you have a gift for everyone on your list. Even the best gift-givers need help with ideas, which is why our team has put together a short gift guide with a few suggestions. We have housewares, accessories, gifts for kids, and a selection of beautiful fair trade gifts, so you’ll never lack for options when you visit our shop. Rather than give something generic and bland, come to Casual Cat for a unique selection of gifts you won’t find anywhere else.
Here are some of our favorite holiday gift ideas. Even your “hard to buy for” friends and relatives will love these gifts!
Jewelry
Gifting jewelry can sometimes be tricky, but not with the unique, handmade pieces we have at Casual Cat. Holly Yashi and Silver Forest have many nature-inspired pieces for those who love the outdoors but still want a little glitz in their ensemble. Mosaico—made in Guadalajara, Mexico—uses tiny stones and crystals to make intricate patterns. If anyone on your list favors geometric shapes in a retro style, Christophe Poly, a Montreal-based jewelry designer, makes beautiful and comment-worthy pieces.
Children’s Books
For the young ones on your list, children’s books and Storytime Toys are gifts that both kids and parents will appreciate. Pop-up books bring classic stories and historical events to life. The “Good Night” series of picture books offers a sweet bedtime story, personalized for various interests, events, and locations. Finally, Storytime Toys combines classic fairy tale storybooks with toys and models, allowing children to play along and interact with the stories.
Fair Trade Gifts
We carefully select every item that we carry in our store, and we’re especially proud of our fair trade gifts. These items come from artisans around the world, and their sales provide sustainable livelihoods and safe conditions for working women. Purchasing fair trade items is a great way to give a gift and give back at the same time. These hand-crafted pieces are so beautiful, anyway, that you’ll want to give them to all your friends and family, and even purchase a few for yourself.
