CC Holiday Gift Giving Guide 2018

It’s that time of year again. A joyous time filled with celebration, spending times with loved ones, eating delicious food and giving and receiving gifts.? Gift giving can be challenging but CC has some ideas for you.? Buying your gifts through consignment means not only supporting local business, but it also means re-using and recycling.? Your carbon footprint is greatly reduced by giving a gift that has less packaging and is not a new consumer product. Most importantly though, your gift will be unique and meaningful and sure to make your recipient smile and feel appreciated.

We have lots of beautiful jewellery for all price points at CC and lots of fabulous artwork of every subject matter and style and size you can think of.? We also have fabulous collectables and accessories.? Here’s just a few of the pieces we are crushing on for Holiday gift giving this year.

There’s nothing like setting a glamourous and elegant dining table or self-serve bar for your guests.?We currently have two very special ice buckets in right now that can do double duty as wine holders, planters or used as vases filled with beautiful flowers.

Stag’s Head Ice Bucket $225

A piece of timeless and elegant crystal never goes out of style.? Fill this beautiful Waterford crystal bowl with flowers, candies, cookies, soaps, ornaments of whatever your heart desires to make a beautiful and meaningful gift at a fraction of the retail price.

Waterford Crystal ‘Balmoral’ Bowl $69.00

 

Pottery is a wonderful gift. We love how pottery is the end result of someone’s vision and creativity that is shaped from a lump of clay lovingly by hand and then hand-glazed and baked in a kiln to seal in all of that creativeness and vision. There’s something really esoteric about that.? Hand-thrown pottery is always one of a kind and unique; no two piece are alike. Fill this incredible Henley Pottery Vase with winter greens, reusable straws or home baked bread sticks for a very unique and practical gift.

Jewellery is always a special gift.? We have an incredible collection of costume and fine jewellery at CC including this classic elegant freshwater pearl choker that would be perfect at work or for an evening out.

This is a beautiful piece that is not only practical and in excellent condition but also adds interest to your interior design if thoughtfully hung or displayed in your home, office or cabin.
