GIFTS

We have tons of amazing winter clothes and outerwear in right now, but we should take a short detour to talk about our new gifts!  Below are my top 5.  Of course, you should check out this list to get some ideas for the holidays, but I think a lot of these items are perfect for you.. like for yourself.  Today.

I have been trying to track down these amazing hand soaps since I saw them at Cog & Pearl in Brooklyn.  They finally arrived yesterday!  Each set contains 8 tiny vegetable glycerin soaps, ranging in size from 3/4" to 2" tall.  

International Kids notebooks have 30 lined pages each.  Perfect to keep in your bag or pocket for those on the go thoughts.  (Did you know we also carry Field Notes?)

I was never allowed to buy astronaut ice cream at any museum gift shop.  I have a very practical mother. Well now I have a whole case of it.  And I will share.  

Pet Plants are back in stock!  We have succulents and tiny cacti to hang from your bag, rear-view mirror or wherever you need a little green friend.  Things are about to get pretty brown here in Columbus, so I think its perfect timing!  

I just finished up a big new batch of book belt buckles and added them to the online store yesterday.  As always, each piece is made from a real discarded book cover and is absolutely one of a kind.

Tons of other new gift items are on the gift section of the website!  Also I am here at the store with all of these treasures; stop in and say hello.  

Shout out in Out (magazine)

The boys from Out magazine stopped by the store again recently en route to Hocking Hills.  They featured Tigertree and Jeni's back in the August issue of the magazine and apparently still had an itch for book belt buckles and amazing ice cream!  You can see the shout out to both on the Out Traveler website.

Quite Possibly the Best Reusable Shopping Bag Ever.

It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to reusable shopping bags.  For the last couple years, I have used my trusty flip and tumble bags; they are sturdy, compact and come in great colors.  All sorts of new reusable bags have come onto the market and I have not batted an eye; until now.

Meet the amazingly adorable bunny bags!  We just got these in today in 10 colors!  The bag measures a perfect 14" wide by 13" with an external front pocket.   The back of the bunny hides a zipper which allows you to stuff the bag into its belly when it is not in use.  My favorite part is that the bunny keeps its shape even without the bag, so you always have a little friend running errands with you.

Perfect for shoppers with kids or people who just like looking awesome.  As always, more details on shoptigertree.com

Heritage Leather for Tigertree exclusive!

We have been fans of the classic Heritage Leather mason bags for quite a while.  We love the classic white canvas look, but we thought, wouldn't it be great if they were more... Tigertree? 

Josh pulled some strings with the kind folks at Heritage and they are now making these colored bags exclusively for us! 

We are offering the bags in colored wool felt (mustard, olive and grey) and canvas (crimson, olive, and desert) in two different sizes for all your errand running and weekend trip needs.  Drop by the online store or pop into the shop this weekend to pick one up!

Flip Flaps!

People ask us all the time how we decide what to carry in the store.  In the case of Flip Flaps, the love affair started one very late night in the New York, New York arcade in Vegas.  Josh was trying to win a new phone or wii game when I noticed a tiny frog in the prize line up, soothingly bobbing his head back and forth.  I made Josh focus his efforts on winning this amazing find, but with no luck.  After spending way too much money, he decided that there might be a better way to go about getting a Flip Flap (as we later learned they were called.)
After a few months of searching and a lot of confusing emails, we were able to bring these treasures to Tigertree!  They are available for $12 which is a steal compared to the money we spent trying to win one! 
So what are they?  Please don't call them bobble heads!  They are solar powered animated friends.  They greet us us every morning when we walk in to the shop and quietly put themselves to sleep when they sun goes down.  They are waiting for you to bring them home and add a sense of happiness and wonder to your desk or windowsill.

ohio outline necklace are BACK

So you have been asking us to bring the Ohio outline necklaces back for, what, 3 years?  We have a long to-do list, but you knew we would eventually get it done:

Handmade recycled sterling silver overlay state outline necklace ($32)

And!  For the first time ever!  Handmade recycled 14k gold overlay outline necklace ($36)!  I know!  We WERE listening!

As always, more pictures and details are available on the website, check out the jewelry section of shoptigertree.com!

Food Cart Food Court

Sorry for two food related posts in a row, but we wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out to The Food Cart Food Court at Wonderland on Sunday to hear a little bit about what is going on with the project and get some great food. 
Mike Beaumont put together this little gem in case you missed it.
