Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

TEN TOP PICKS FOR CHRISTMAS FROM THE STONE STORE

1. WELEDA ARNICA MASSAGE OIL

We have been selling this product for at least 30 years and although many new and very good products have come along for aching muscles, joint pain and strains and sprains, this remains my personal favourite.

It is very fast acting and the blend of essential oils in this product are soothing and calming.

It is a great gift for gardeners, skiers, people with sports injuries or anyone with sore aching muscles or joints.

2. JOINT CARE PLUS

This product would combine well with a trial package of Joint Care Plus by Genuine Health. Results are felt within 10 days, [one trial pack], sells for $9.99

Joint care plus is backed with clinical trials and is getting rave reviews from our customers.

3. ORGANIC AND FAIR TRADE CHOCOLATE

We have an amazing variety of choice on organic, fair trade and now also raw and vegan chocolates.

GIDDY YOYO, is locally made with organic, raw and vegan chocolate.

CoCo Camino, another great Canadian company supplying fair trade chocolate bars, and now also baking chocolate, hot chocolate [milk and dark] and chocolate chips.

4. INCENSE.

We have 2 lines of incense this year. JUNNIPER RIDGE featuring sweet grass, pinon, fir and bundles of cedar and sage. and MARMOMA, using natural oils and made in a cooperative in India.

5. YOGA MATS,

We carry the Dusky Leaf line of yoga products. The mats are non toxic and biodegradable . There are also organic cotton yoga straps and beautiful organic cotton yoga blankets. There are also grippy towels and mats for hot yoga. Something for any of the yogis on your Christmas list.

6. SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

We recommend:

Any of the SUKI face products. The lemon cleanser scrub is a favourite and a great addition to anyone’s cleansing routine.

EVAN HEALY Rose cream and BluecChamomile face creams are especially lovely during the cold winter months.
