The fabulous world of plants is popular, and more and more people are enjoying the pleasure of gardening or have the pleasure of brightening up their environment with living beauties. Follow the green wave and give gifts made from herbs, flowers and botanical treasures.
1. Cooking with flowers
The discovery of ready-to-cook local products that will bewitch your dishes is possible thanks to Boreal Roots. This company specializes in sharing ingredients that come from our boreal resources. Gourmands will be happy to discover local flavors that are sometimes overlooked. Juniper berries, wild rose petals from Quebec, dehydrated chanterelles, balsam bayberry, dune pepper… Make happy people who will dance in the kitchen!
2. Mini Life
Basil, nasturtiums, chives, alpine strawberries, sunflower, oregano, lavender… What if growing at home was simple? Mano Verde offers adorable mini pots that contain seeds, a pot with a drainage hole, a saucer and potting soil, everything to grow herbs and flowers yourself. Urban agriculture at its best and a great project to do as a family. The perfect gift for those who already have everything!
3. Glow From Here
A Swedish atmosphere with candles inspired by our forests and our flora: a perfect gift in these shorter days! Those produced by Weeds, who have a passion for artisanal cosmetics, offer a getaway in our environment. Offer them as a trio: the Forest candle (white pine, balsam fir, black spruce and field mint), the River candle (eucalyptus and black spruce) and the Prairie candle (bergamot, Ho wood and lemon).
4. Nordic Ritual
Known for its soothing bathtime rituals that turn your tub into a home spa, Selv now offers a Nordic Ritual for hand care. The scent of lavender and eucalyptus will embalm the space, transforming hand care into a moment of relaxation stolen from the passing of time. The set offers a soap and moisturizing hand lotion designed for sensitive skin.
5. The drinking forest!
La Distillerie du Fjord, based in Saint-David-de-Falardeau in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, carefully prepares spirits inspired by the richness of the boreal forest. Their Km12 gin, made with balsam fir buds, dune pepper, pine nard, wild raspberry leaves and balsam bayberry, requires no further introduction. Discover the Liqueur Lily, a menthol digestive with scents of sweet vanilla. The latter is produced with Labrador tea, a plant that reigns in the boreal forest.
6. The ultimate in relaxation
All Lavender House products are a sensation under the tree. With its recognized relaxing properties, lavender is synonymous with peace, an ode to time for oneself. This bath foam, designed for the whole family, combines majestic lavender with the subtle and invigorating scent of clementine.
