Christmas Cactus

Kelly’s Pick

My favorite thing for Christmas is the Christmas cactus! I love their large colorful blooms, and they open up just in time for the holidays. They’re an easy houseplant to care for and you can easily root them to share with others.   They brighten up any room!  P.S., we are just about out but have more coming right before Thanksgiving!

Jarrod Flower’s Wood Carvings

Lily Claire’s Pick of the Week

Lions, tigers and bears, Oh My!  The wood carvings by local artist, Jarrod Flowers, is by far my favorite pick for a gift this Christmas season. This gift will not only bring the wild right into your home but a smile across the faces of the nature/animal lover in your life! This is a brand new items for our gift shop,  and here is more on Jarrod’s story:

‘Born and raised in Arkansas, I’ve always been drawn to adventure. Adventure, from an early age, always led to finding beauty in the most unexpected places, and at the most opportune time. After spending a year at OBU, I decided to move to California. For 12 years, I lived in one of the most beautiful places on Earth…the Redwood Forest was my playground.

Five years ago, I was invited to pick up a chainsaw and make my first cut. Little did I know that this would lead to competing with world class carvers and artists. After developing my skills and artistic style, my wife, 4 children, and I have recently relocated back to Little Rock to raise our family. My goal is to show how beautiful art can be when you take the time to master it.

My name is Jarrod Flowers, and I am a professional chainsaw carver. ‘

Candles

Anna’s Pick

I love these candles because they are heavily fragranced and the wax burns for a very long time.  They have scents that you are not going to find from another company, and bring a sense of nostalgia when you smell them.  Priced at $29.99, this is the perfect gift at the perfect price point.

Felt Ornaments

Morgan’s Pick

My favorite gift shop item is the Felt Ornaments. They are very adorable and there are a range of design options; gnomes, dinosaurs, Santas, mice, etc. I love how some could be used as a decoration year-round even though they are made for Christmas. I also enjoy the unique texture the felt adds to the ornaments, giving them a handmade look. I would have to say my favorite out of the bunch is the Gnome with the little mushroom, the mushroom and fluffy beard add the cutest touches making this guy a winner in my book.

Amaryllis

Angie’s Pick

I am SO excited about the Amaryllis bulbs with sweaters!  They take all the stress out of forcing bulbs for Christmas.  All you have to do is take them home, take them out of the package and set them where you want them.  No watering needed, just sit back and enjoy.  No fuss, no muss!  Come get yours before they’re all gone!!!
