Merry Christmas! Remember to love.gift.smile...

Christmas is almost here...

Christmas is almost here and Santa’s elves are working overtime! Luckily, Pink Olive can give them a little break from making toys by having lots of great stocking stuffers to choose from.  From handmade soaps, cute stamp sets, harmonicas, yo-yos, to stuffed animals, scented blowing bubbles, key chains and all sorts of other things, we’ve got the elves’ list covered. 

And Santa gets a break this year from all those rooftop deliveries with Pink Olive’s bike messenger service! Available for same day delivery in Manhattan, we’ll bring your purchase right to your front door. 

Also, for those on Santa’s list who forgot to tell him what they wanted, he can use Pink Olive’s concierge service.  He just has to tell us a little about whom the gift is for, and our gift experts will help him pick out something great.

Of course, all of these services aren’t just for Santa and his elves, you can use them too!  Happy Holidays. We hope to see you in the shop!

GET crafty and JAZZ up your GIFT

You’ve searched high and low for that perfect gift this holiday. Now let Pink Olive help you sparkle up its presentation. Gift-wrapping can be just as fun and creative as your unique gift by adding some extra special little touches.

Make it pretty with colorful Japanese rice paper tape. We have lots of styles to choose from and there are so many ways to use it, you’ll want to start a collection!

Divine Twine bakers twine can make the simplest kraft paper look gorgeous. Choose from red, pink, blue or yellow.  Use it to tie on a little pixy elf Christmas ornament to the outside of your gift and you’ll get oohs and aahs before it’s even unwrapped.

Choose from are assortment of pretty cloth ribbon by the whimsical Danish company maileg to wrap in bows. It will give your wrapping paper a pop of color.  One of our favorites this season is the red and white pixy elves.

Organic cotton wrappers by chewing the cud are a cloth version of wrapping paper.  There are so many pretty patterns and it’s a great eco- friendly alternative to paper wrap.  It’s also a great gift in itself because it can be used again and again.

Don’t forget to browse our beautiful selection of Christmas cards, too.

Pink Olive is a whimsical boutique that specializes in unique gifts for happiness and home. We are pleased to bring to our stores an eclectic mix of local artists and brands around the world for a truly "unique" experience.

it's time to spread some irish cheer... PLUS spring is just around the corner!

make MARCH a magic month with st. patty's day gifts!

it's march and that means that spring is in the air. buds are opening and birds are chirping ~ just in time to celebrate st. patrick's day. in light of this festive occasion, Pink Olive has put together a collection of irish themed gifts that will bring good luck to us all. from beautiful framed photographs by irish artist and east village resident ciaran tully to shiny brass "good luck" shamrock home decor by ten things, it's time to spread some irish cheer.

it's hard to find a more magical color than green. this symbol of renewal, prosperity, and environmentalism is the perfect color for spring and the national color of ireland. take a look at the green gardener's soap from saipua with its subtle scents of mint and rosemary. help save the environment with a botanica tote bag from envirosax. these roomy and angelable bags make a stylish springtime statement with their green foliage inspired prints. try pairing it with a cool green stuff book, a guide to renewable and recycled products. or celebrate this most spritely holiday with a green fairy or green angel key chain from the string doll gang.

use these gifts as bait for leprechaun traps or as "leprechaun gifts" for kids! or have your own st. patty's day treasure hunt with family and friends. hide clues around your yard, apartment or neighborhood and put together a pot of green to find at the end!


from all of us at Pink Olive, happy st. patrick's day!

xoxo
Olive




p.s. ssshhh.... we have a special offer for you all this saturday, the first official day of spring! please join us in store and get five Pink Olive bucks for any purchase of $50 or more!

it's time to give a little LOVE... PLUS win artwork by photographer Ciaran Tully!

with Valentines Day just around the corner, we want to celebrate the occasion with new accessories by NY designer Y.Rose. we are in LOVE with her pom pom headbands and bolo ties but don't forget about her classic winter bloom headbands in numerous FUN colors. their mission is to warm ears and hearts one headband at a time! with the wintry cold weather not letting go, it's no wonder her headbands are still flying off the shelves.

from now until february 14th, purchase anything LOVE related at Pink Olive and you will have a chance to win this framed "i love you" piece by NYC photographer Ciaran Tully. over the last 18 years, Ciaran has come to appreciate and understand the love and soul of NYC and you can see that in his work. his versatile and creative work is quite contagious ~ you will want to decorate your entire pad with his work. Ciaran Tully’s photography is currently exhibited and sold exclusively at Pink Olive in east village.
