It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our area of Ontario – lights, snow, carols, and gift shopping. The endless endeavor to find that perfect present for those you love, or to bring that “wow” moment to someone’s Christmas day, can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Everyone wants to give a gift that matters, has meaning, and will bring lasting memories. Why not choose solid wood, Mennonite-crafted, furniture?
Solid wood furniture makes a fantastic gift for couples, either to give to one partner or to simply give to each other. If you were to purchase a solid wood Mennonite bed-frame for a Christmas gift, not only is it a present that shows ultimate love, but every time your partner steps into that “special space” for sharing, they are reminded of how much you care. Perhaps a new dresser would be in order, or a set of night stands (now that’s a great gift for couples to give to each other!). Or, if you want to dazzle and delight, go all out and purchase an entire bedroom set! Set the stage for lasting memories of love.
Perhaps you are looking for a gift for your adult children. A coffee table can be a great addition to their home! Many younger adults and families are still looking for that perfect focal point for their living room or den, and perhaps are not able to afford it. Think of the fond memories every glimpse of that table will bring, or perhaps the enjoyment of your love every time they put their feet up. Not only will the solid wood furniture last, but also the memories year after year. Then it can be handed down to another generation, who will not only benefit from the love, but also the precious memories involved. Throw in an end table or two!
Looking for the gift that will bring out all the “oohs and ahhs?” Try a solid wood dining table, dining chairs, or perhaps a set! Whether it’s your spouse or your children, not only will a gift like that speak volumes to the recipient, but it will also speak to their guests and friends who see it. What voices the love more loudly than a beautiful table and chairs at which friends and family can sit in comfort and warmth? So many options exist to fit every budget, every vibe, and every taste. The quality of craftsmanship in a Mennonite made table and chairs outdoes many other gifts. Another quality piece, often overlooked but useful, is a sideboard. Whether three door or four, every solid wood sideboard gives extra serving space and extra storage space in every home.
Here's a fun one! Grandchildren often have so many toys and games already – give a kitchen helper stool, so they can help you cook or bake, or perhaps a children’s size table and chairs. Still solid wood, still Mennonite made, so they will still outlast every child! Why go to a big box store and purchase a table and chairs for those precious grandchildren, when you can give them a gift that will last through every sibling and beyond, all without breaking the bank? Imagine their faces when they see that they can now help at the counter in the kitchen, or can easily sit at their own table to enjoy the Christmas feast!
While not furniture, a unique and thoughtful gift is a solid wood charcuterie board. Mennonite crafted, these creative presents come in a variety of woods and sizes, and can be used by almost anyone. Made using solid cherry, walnut, and maple, each size and shape is different, which make them a perfect gift for several people. Not one gift will be the same! They can also often be found with small amounts of epoxy decorating the wood, and the
colors are a charming addition. Purchase a set of charcuterie utensils, and some organic wood butter, and you’re all set for Christmas gifting!
Perhaps you think that it’s too late to make these gifts happen – that there’s not enough time. Don’t worry! Place an order for your solid wood gift, and put a picture in a small gift box (or a big one for effect!). The appreciation and love will still be worth it, and you can include the choice of color in your gift! Another option is to come in-store and purchase solid wood furniture that is in stock. Your gift will be “under the tree” in time. Some items may be in stock unfinished, and can be stained to order...let them choose. Gift cards are also great option the perfect gift of choice – giving each family member the ability to select their own piece, style, and color that best suits their needs or wants. Solid wood charcuterie boards are easily found in store, and can be selected to match each individual. Gift cards can be purchased at Cinnamon Cabin Co, both in store and on our website. Make the season shine this year!
As always, remember the reason for this beautiful season – Jesus Christ! Love originated with God, and was spoken into the world in creation, and displayed to the world in Christ. Wishing you and your family the merriest of Christmases this year, and the best of blessings always!
