But, I'm only a little biased. :) I was so very genuinely excited for such a lovely lady to open such a lovely shop, and it fits perfectly into the new El Vado complex.

There is a gift here for everyone on your list - cactus (of course!), air plants, succulents; homemade cards, earrings, and other décor; and yummy local honey and beeswax! Chill vibe, cool products, and local family-owned.
