far & free 2022 Holiday Gift Guide
Shopping for sunglasses that are good for winter means keeping special considerations in mind. The sun is lower in the sky during Pacific Northwest winters and brightly reflects off wet and snowy surfaces. Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays in style with our far & free Water View design. These sunglasses come in 3 beautiful colours and offer maximum coverage with their oversized shape and comfortable category 3 dark lenses.
*Important note: Order by December 19th to receive before Christmas. We also have a gift card option available if you can’t decide on the perfect style, or if you’re last-minute shopping on December 24th.
If you’ve made it your mission to shop from small businesses this Holiday Season, here are some wonderful woman-owned BC companies that I’d highly recommend.
Sofine Jewelry
Jewelry that carries an energy which symbolizes the moments you keep close to yourself. These heirloom pieces are made to give you a sense of grounding and healing in yourself and recognize your divine power.
I was gifted a Sofine bracelet last Christmas and I honestly have not taken it off my wrist for an entire year. It is one of my favourite and most versatile pieces of jewelry.

Asiri Cosmetics
Artisan soap formulated by means of a balanced combination of vegetable oils and natural additives.
There are so many beautiful scent options, but my personal favourite is the Eucalyptus & Cinnamon soap bar.

marinatotes
Sustainable, practical, reusable tote bags made locally in Vancouver, BC
I purchased both the dusty rose and canteen colours in 2021 and still use them on a weekly basis when I’m out running errands. Strong and versatile, in colours that transcend seasons.

Velella Gold
Born on the wild and surreal west coast of Canada, their mission is to drape every ambitious and powerful woman in statement pieces that pair with the beach as much as they do the boardroom.
I recently purchased their bracelet design called, Find Me in The Fountains and I’m so happy I did! It is a beautiful 14k gold fill chain that features a stunning fountain green Chrysoprase gemstone.

Top Hat Kombucha
Sparked by an interest, grown by a passion, and named after a small top hat that's always hanging around on one of their brewing vessels. Top Hat Kombucha aims to produce a delicious beverage for truly everyone to enjoy.
Blueberry is my personal favourite. It has a rich and bold flavour that is naturally sweet and balanced.

Molly Jean Studios
Located in the Fraser Valley, MJ Studios creates handmade eco-friendly homewares. The nature of the product creates unique pieces with imperfections. Just like you and me.
If you are looking for a unique handmade gift, I’d recommend their Trinket Trays. They are the perfect size to display far & free sunglasses, or a pretty way to showcase jewellery.
