shower bag.

Douche. I hear people use that word a lot. I can’t recall myself ever using it and kind of think it just sounds gross. And weird. Notice how I even left it out of the post title? Well, check out these doucheBags by Shirin Handmade

Shirin is based in Vancouver and takes recycled shower curtains and gives them new life by turning them in to bags. ‘Douche’ is the French word for shower, thus the name doucheBAG. Clever!

limonaia.

Over this past holiday season {previous ones as well} I did my shopping from only small businesses. Everyone got things from me from shops that were local or independently owned. One of my favorite shops for getting unique gift items is Limonaia.

Limonaia

Located in Russian Hill here in San Francisco, owner Jessica Goldfarb has curated a selection of goods from both local and international companies fit for any occasion and recipient. Most recently I picked up a vase and candle for my mom, a fabric pouch for my sister, and a memory card game, drawing books and bath treats for my nieces and nephews. Oh, and there may have been a little something for myself thrown in there as well. The shop is great because it fits any budget.

Stop on by and see Jessica and her friendly staff. They are all very helpful and knowledgeable about the lines they carry in the shop. Some of my current favorites are the fabric headbands and ponytail holders made locally {which I own}, paper products, candles, soaps, and well, just about everything I guess. My friend actually just gave me the cutest wristlet/clutch from Limonaia recently as well. I’m also kind of obsessed with the blabla dolls {hey, I’m a big kid, right?!}…
