1. Mantle refresh - A great way to make your living space feel refreshed is to switch up your mantle decor. Stash away any of the old decorations that no longer fit your style & fill it with new modern pieces like unique candle holders or a fun clock. While you’re at it, you may as well grab a palo santo holder + a ritual bundle with palo santo & sage to cleanse your space of all the negative energy.

2. Go Green - Add new life to a space with mini plants and succulents. Dress them up with different planters and small décor pieces like a strand of wood beads. Don’t have a green thumb? Fake it with some faux plants! Pair your updated decor with the scents of springtime like citronella, grapefruit, & lemon in one of our diffusers or tuck a lavender satchel into an area that needs a touch of freshness.

Decorate your bar cart with new coasters and an alcohol infusion kit ready to pour craft cocktails.

You deserve it!

Our two-sided porch signs are great for all seasons with one side saying “Oh hello there” and the other saying “Gather” you’re sure to have a sign for all times of the year. Be sure you’re protecting yourself from the sun with a great hat or bandana to stay safe! Kiddos spending more time outside too? A busy box full of chalk & other toys will be sure to keep them entertained.
