What to get Mom for Valentine’s Day?

Every year you probably have the same problem as I do, what should I get the woman who has everything for Valentine’s Day? A box of chocolates seen like the perfect gift; their sweet just like Mom We’ve all given Mom a box of chocolates Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day. Besides isn’t Mom trying to watch her weight like everyone else these days?

Maybe you could get her a scented candle? Most candles aren’t environmentally friendly because they burn paraffin candles which produce a number of harmful byproducts when burned. On top of that most candles are made with petroleum by-products which are a non-renewable energy source.  Perfume could be a great gift idea. Unfortunately some people are sensitive to the scent of different perfumes.  The challenge is how can you be original for your Valentine’s Day gift without destroying the planet or her sense of smell?

If Mom is into yoga an eco-friendly yoga mat might be the right gift choice. Jade yoga mats (https://jadeyoga.com/ ) are made from rubber trees, a renewable energy source and don’t contain PVC, EVA or any other synthetic rubber. If your Mom is one of the many people who wears reading glasses, you can buy a pair of trendy affordable eye glasses at Warby Parker (https://ca.warbyparker.com/ ) the eyeglass company with a conscious. Warby Parker donates a pair of eyeglasses to a non-profit each time someone buys a pair. Make someone feel good and do good at the same time. It’s a win-win.

Whatever you get Mom remember it’s always better to give her gift that comes from the heart.

Small Bathroom … Big Plans

Whether you have a smaller guest bathroom or powder room chances are it’s hard to find the right bathroom fixtures and accessories to fit the space.  The problem with a smaller bathroom isn’t only size but creating a space that flows as you want to move around with ease.

According to the This Old House website, Asian design contributes fluidity of design in a small space. Darker colors on the walls diminish their overall impact and pedestal or vessel sinks are stylish and minimalist. Recessed lighting also takes up less room than traditional lighting and when used strategically, can create a focal point for bathroom fixtures.

At Soak Saskatoon, we can help you get big results for your smaller bathroom. You can choose from one of many bathroom cabinets that are available in a wide range of colors and styles. The ultra-compact OSJ-090-900 with dimensions of 35.5” (901mm) X 14.25” (361mm) X 16.75 (425mm) has a smaller footprint. If you already have a bathroom cabinet, a smaller wash basin such as the CL-3026 can give you more counter space. With the right fixtures a small space doesn’t have to be an inconvenience.
