Glow it or Grow it

Everyone is unique in their style of what gift giving means to them.  Some relish the traditional gift for the holiday while others pride themselves on being able to grow a living thing during the winter months.

A tale of 2 styles; two of the most popular choices are candles (traditional) holiday décor or blooming holiday plants to watch grow and flourish such as Amaryllis or Poinsettia.

 

 

GLOW IT – We always have a vast array of candles for the season. Pearl Street Candles and Rosy Rings are made here in Colorado! Here is a sample of the scents we have here at Creek Side.

Pearl Street – Frasier Fir, Winter Wonderland, Frost and Snowfall, Brewed Coffee, Buffalo Plaid, Colorado Breeze to name a few.

 

 

Rosy Rings – Forest, Red Current, Lemon Lychee

 

 

 

Himalayan – made in Georgia, USA – Evergreen, Grapefruit Pine, Pumpkin Sandalwood, Lilac and Leather, Bourbon Vanilla.

 

 

 

 

 

Vance Kitiera – our basic, unscented candle in pear shapes, pillars and tapers.  The VK GLOW candle is battery operated with a remote, cased in the signature VK wax.

 

 

 

GROW IT – we all have that friend or family member with the ‘green thumb’.  Not so much a traditional gift getter.  They will love you giving something they can watch grow and nurture.

Amaryllis and Paperwhite bulbs – start these bulbs around Halloween and you should have color and bloom by Christmas!  Start bulbs in a pot with soil and water in the soil.  Place in a bright location and watch the magic begin.  Some Amaryllis are prepared in a ‘wax vase’.  No water required, just give it some light and love and it will start to sprout.

 

 

 

Poinsettia – classic holiday plant to give as a gift.  Poinsettias will arrive Thanksgiving week and we will have many varieties from traditional red or white to fun varieties such as Marble, Jingle Bells, Glitter and Cinnamon.

 

 

 

Blooming holiday plants – consider different beautiful blooming plants like Cyclamen, Kalanchoe, or Anthurium.

Norfolk Pine – makes a wonderful ‘Christmas tree’ drape with garland or colorful balls.
