Home/Work

How you holding up with these gale force winds? I guess that summer weather needed to have a price. Are you prepped for power outages? We finally got our stock of Solar Homes from BioLite. Be prepared for the next power outage or illuminate an off the grid structure with the power of the sun. You can charge mobile devices and tune into the radio via the control box. Includes two pendant lamps, one motion light, battery storage hub, and six watt solar panel.

Stocked up on pocket hats in store and online. Shop is open 10-5 today and we’ll also be open on glorious Martin Luther King Day. Mask up and come check out all the new new.

Happy Saturday! We are open 10-5 today. Enjoy the sunshine and then swing by to find something special.

Here we go! We are back open to in-person shopping. As you can see, my biggest reflection at the beginning of the year was that during a pandemic I like to self soothe with delicious treats. I hope you do too! The shop is open every day from 10a - 5p. We still have limited capacity and ask that you wear a proper fitting mask over your nose and mouth the entire time you are inside. We want to keep you, us, and our community safe. I’ll be spending the next few days getting the online shop updated with all the new new, as well as prepping for all the goodies yet to come!

Merry Christmas friends! Wishing you all the very best! Thank you so much for your incredible support not just during the holidays, but this entire year. It’s been an exhausting ten months, but your words of encouragement, purchases, and overall positivity have kept us going. You are the reason we are not only still here, but ready for what’s to come in 2021. Stay tuned later today for some announcements...

Restock on butterfly and bee houses! Find them in our outdoor section online or swing by the shop to grab one.

I you Santa Cruz! This community is like none other I’ve ever lived in or been to. Thank you for making such a huge effort to shop small, shop local, and shop safe. I know it isn’t always convenient or the most affordable, but every dollar you spend locally makes it back into the community. I can attest to that!

We are here for any last minute shopping from 10 to 4. If you'd like to order online for local delivery your order cut-off is 2pm. Thank you and have an amazing holiday! Stay safe, wear your mask, and social distance.

I fell so hard for Kazi's woven vases earlier in the year (and you guys too as we sold out in a matter of days) that I ordered more and this batch is as good, if not better than the last. Intricately woven using carefully dyed sisal fiber and sweet grass, each cylindrical vase is one-of-a-kind. They come with a glass liner to display fresh flowers or a plant. Without the liner it can be used to hold a bottle of wine, desk supplies, or kitchen utensils. Extra bonus: the vase in the first slide features metallic thread for a subtle shimmer in the afternoon light. We've got limited stock on these and they're available both online and in the shop.

Looking for stocking stuffers? These yummy bath salts are just the ticket. A mineral rich blend including epsom and dead sea salt combined with detoxing essential oils. Who doesn't need to decrease stress and detox the body after this year? Available online for shipping or curbside pick-up, or in store. We're here from 10 to 6 today.

Things have been so busy at the shop the past month that I haven't had a chance to introduce you to my favorite apothecary line at the shop, Moon River Naturals. Based in Hawkins, Texas, Moon Rivers Naturals creates simple, pure, and organic cleansers, moisturizers, and scents. Their products will feed your skin, while keeping it fresh and clean with ingredients like prickly pear oil, willow bark, coconut milk, and matcha green tea. I'm obsessed and I know you will be too. And if your looking for a thoughtful gift, some of these are included in our care packages. Gift giving made easy!

What's better than a good ol' game of Loteria? This cheeky spin on the old classic featuring millennial icons like "el man bun", "el brunch", "la selfie". The game was created by Guatemalan immigrant Mike Alfaro. Similar to classic bingo, players each receive game sheets, and the influencer, or card dealer, calls the cards. Players who have a match on their sheet use the included bitcoins (get it) to mark their icon. Get four in a row and yell out, "yaaaaaaasssss!" Includes... 46 cards, 10 boards, 80 bitcoin tokens, and a collectible Millennial Loteria pin. Quaranteam idea: send a single board and a handful of tokens out to 9 friends and play virtually at your next Zoom hang. . . . . . . . . . . #shophomework #santacruz #visitsantacruz #visitcalifornia #bayareabuzz #centralcoast #santacruzlife #sharingaworldofshops #shopsofinstagram #millennialloteria #loteria #millennials #millennial #manbun #selfie #quaranteam #bingo #boardgame #giftguide #giftideas See more

Still stuck on what to give? I've got two quick and easy, you don't even need to come pick up anything from the store, ideas. First, is an e-gift card that can be used online or in-store. Second is a subscription to our quarterly gift boxes (next slide). We've created four themes Adventurer, Foodie, Home Refresh, and Self Care. For each theme, every quarter we’ll find a collection of useful, clever, and innovative products and pack them in a unique and reusable vessel. You ...can choose to send just one or sign your pal up for an annual subscription of curated surprises at their door every three months. Who doesn't love getting surprises at their doorstep? I sure do! More info online in our Quarterly Gift Box page. If you were to be gifted one of these subscriptions which one would you be excited to open up? I'm torn between Foodie and Adventurer. During Covid all I want to do is eat and be outside. See more

Restock on terrazzo mugs and wine glasses. A silicone sleeve protects the ceramic mugs and the glass vino holders, while a lockable lid keeps your from spilling when in animated conversation (that would be what happens to me). Available online and in the shop. . . . .... . #shophomework #terrazzo #giftguide #giftideas #togo #reuse #greengifts See more

Pick out your own collection, choose BYO gift box at checkout and we’ll pack it up all cute in a tuck top box with colorful tissue, crinkle paper, and a fun gift card. . . . .... . . . #shophomework #giftguide #giftideas #giftbox #holidays #selfcare #thegiftofgiving See more

Gov. Newsom’s announcement was understandably a wee bit confusing this week. I’m here to tell ya we are still open for in-store shopping, though our capacity is very limited. If you’d like to avoid waiting in line to come in, please shop online. We’ve worked tirelessly to include everything in our webshop. If you can’t find something just let us know and we’ll guide you to where it is or when we’ll be restocked. Thank you for all the support the past nine months. You are the reason we are still here.
