Home & Garden
We like the air in our homes and our offices to be fresh and smell pretty. While there are hundreds of different air fresheners on the market, most of them are less than pretty, never mind fitting into the décor of our space.
Hervé Gambs' flower diffusers are so beautiful; green or fuchsia Orchid or Ranunculus flowers are placed in square white or black vases to create a "couture flower diffuser" that simply looks like a mini floral arrangement. Made in France, the hand painted, fabric flower diffusers need to be scented with Hervé Gambs' home fragrance sprays that are made with all natural ingredients and 10% perfume. Perfect for a smaller space such as a bathroom or office, your room can look and smell beautiful.
Hervé Gambs Couture Flower Diffusers ($44.99) and Fragrance sprays ($64.99) are available online at goneshopping.ca.
Scarves have been one of the MUST HAVE accessories for the past several seasons. While they add colour, texture and interest to your outfit, they add a great big storage mess to your closet. If you're like us, you have a bin full of scarves that are a jumbled mess. Total frustration.
The Scarf Hangit is our newest discovery. Created by the maker of the Bling Hangit that we've previously featured, the Scarf Hangit holds 12 scarves and keeps them untangled and easy to access. Covered in a plush velvet-like fabric, the Scarf Hangit will not snag or catch the fibres on your scarves. So Stimulistas, go head and get organized!
The Scarf Hangit is available at Tricia's Gems in Cloverdale for $25.00.
It may be a little early to be sitting out on your patio soaking up the sun and sipping fruity beverages, but it's not too early to be planning ahead for it!
We love this 2-in-1 pitcher with a diffuser and ice tube. The dual diffuser tube lets you infuse your water with fruit or loose leaf tea and the iced middle tube keeps it all cold in the hot sun. Your drinks will be full of real flavour without all the floating bits that come from having the fruit just floating in the water. The clean, modern design and bold green colour feels fresh and summery.
It's important to note that you must hand wash the pitcher - it's not dishwasher safe and that you can't use it with hot liquids.
The 2-in-1 pitcher can be found at Canadian Tire at a great price - only $12.99.
One of the best things about gathering a few friends together for a wine and appie party is the cheese. There are hundreds of beautiful cheeses to enjoy, however, with so many choices it's almost impossible to know what variety to choose off the cheese plate.
Put an end to the cheese guessing game with Ceramic Cheese Markers by Petite Maison. Beautifully embossed with a lovely scroll design, the markers come in a set of 6 complete with a dry erase pen. Simply write the name of the cheese on the marker and put it into the block of cheese. The marker wipes off with a damp cloth and it ready to use next time. We think the Cheese Markers look lovely and would perfectly compliment your cheese and grape plate - complete with the Grape Shears we featured earlier this week.
We discovered these Ceramic Cheese Markers at Kitchen Therapy in Grandveiw Corners in South Surrey for $21.00.
In homage to the 84th annual Academy Awards, we here in the Stimuli offices felt inspired by the old Hollywood glamour of the red carpet and, of course, this year’s Best Picture winner, The Artist when we stumbled upon these lovely nickel plated Grape Shears.
With the popping of corks and tinkle of crystal these delicate scissors would make a lovely gift for the host and hostess at your next soirée. Exclusive to Chapters Indigo, these scissors are been designed to snip off small sections of grapes for guests. So, for your next gathering, dig out your grandmother's old cut crystal bowl, fill it with plump red table grapes and impress your guests with the simple elegance these Grape Shears provide.
As a little side note, these Grape Shears are currently on sale for $30 and come with a gift box.
