Once again, Reverie Photography is excited to highlight a local business that stands out from others in a great way! I wasn’t asked or paid to do this post, I just love to feature places that I love and want to give a shout-out to!

The Purple Tree is a cozy and inviting shop in downtown Hudson, WI. This family-owned business has plenty of heart! The items held in-stock are carefully selected with the health of our planet and humanity in mind. Since this is the season of giving I thought I’d reach out to Sarah Bruch, from The Purple Tree, for ten unique gift ideas (personal & fan-favorites). Whether you’re looking to gift yourself, your child’s favorite teacher, or need a cute stocking stuffer, there seems to be something for any age group! Everyone loves to feel good about their purchase, so a purchase made here will definitely fit the bill. Peruse through this gift guide, build out your holiday shopping list, and stop by the Purple Tree to see what other treasures you’re sure to find. You won’t be sorry!

10 Gift Ideas brought to you by: The Purple Tree

Featured

Maple Syrup Candle

This unique candle is a Purple Tree favorite. (Really, it's the best-story-ever, just ask us. We love to tell it.) Perks: it’s Certified GMO-free * Phthalate free * 100% Vegan * Good forestry practices for the wood wicks * Recycled * Zero Waste manufacturing * No animal test * Clean buring * AND* it smells REALLY awesome.

Collectivo Coffee

Collectivo’s goal is to deliver a great coffee experience (and trust us, they knock it out of the park). This coffee is delicious and fair trade certified! This women-owned business is involved in every step of the process, developing close partnerships with farmers and cooperatives around the world, and traveling to meet these farmers whenever they can. Collectivo holiday blends will be released soon!

Love Your Melon

This local company has a BIG heart. They produce hats in Minnesota (yay for creating local jobs)! Fifty percent of their net profit is donated to pediatric cancer research. Bonus: these hats are adorable!

Blu Cloths (Swedish dishcloths)

Perfect for hefty holiday clean-up, these reusable cloths are marvelously absorbent and a wonder in the kitchen! You'll never want to go back to those old dishrags after you see how well these work. Kitchen surfaces are left virtually streak free. Made of earth-friendly 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, Blu Cloths are durable (just wash it in your dishwasher or washing machine). Can be used wet or dry, a green alternative to paper towels!

Minnesota Mittens

Oh yes, friends! These are a Purple Tree fan-favorite. They'll keep your fingers toasty on a brisk wintry day. The best part of all? These are mittens with a powerful mission. Your warm hands are brought to you by adults with alternative abilities.

Wine Gummies

Welcome to the world of edible wine. Yes, you read that right! This women-owned business began because of their love of wine. They describe themselves as ambitious and balanced, just like the perfect wine. Together they have created tasty gummies that are a fun snack and a perfect host/hostess gift.

Civil Tees

You may have heard the quote, "In a world where you can be anything, be kind." Our signature t-shirts spread messages of hope, kindness, and civility. Our designs have been created by local design professionals, artists, & through graphic design students attending University of Wisconsin-River Falls. These t-shirts are ethically sourced, produced in an environmentally certified print shop using water based inks in our home state - Wisconsin. Now that's a lot of goodness in one t-shirt! (15% of net profit is donated to non-profits)

Pura Vida - "Pure Life"

This jewelry's core mission is giving back. They've partnered with more than 175 charities throughout the world and have donated $1.9 million to causes we care about. This jewelry is a sweet stocking stuffer that triple gives (one for your recipient, a donation to a charity, and a gift for your heart).

Euro Scrubbies

These scrubbies make clean up fast and easy, plus they’re safe to use on most surfaces. Feel good knowing these are environmentally friendly and dishwasher safe, they are the bomb!

Use them in: the kitchen – non-stick pots and pans, glass/cermaic cook-tops, cookware, and even root vegetables; the bathroom – porcelain, marble and tile, and glass shower doors; the great outdoors – Garden tools, furniture, boats and pools

Man Bar (Set of 3)

Scrub-a-dub-dub, three soaps by the tub! Are you wondering how they make a team? A cleanser, a freshener, and a hydrator: all of them together, quite supreme. These BIG bold bars aren't kid stuff. Each soap has its own sophisticated scent and grooming benefit: silver sage and bergamot (deep-cleansing), exotic musk and sandalwood (revitalizes), and Siberian fir (hydrates).
