Colette Stroia, Author at Haskill Creek

The snow has officially arrived in Whitefish, and we couldn’t be happier. After the flurries of the past week, the mountains are looking magical—we spent the weekend sledding with friends, and we’re already dreaming of getting out on the slopes soon. The fresh snow has us in full-on holiday mode, decking the halls at home, lighting candles, and beginning to search for thoughtful gifts for the people we love most.

Here at Haskill Creek, we’re heading into our favorite time of year—gifting season—and this year’s lineup of gift guides is our best yet. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create our annual printed gift guide, which will be heading to mailboxes very soon. It’s a beautiful piece that’s full of inspiration, meaningful gift ideas, and features on some of the local makers and partners who inspire us most. You can also swing by the store to grab a copy in person—we’d love to see you!

In the meantime, we’ve got another round of gift guides live and ready to browse:

These guides feature some of our all-time favorites—like the OSEA Hyaluronic Lip Serum + Body Oil Duo, Kate McLeod Bath Stones, Le Bon Shoppe Socks, Corpus Body Wash, and Augustinus Bader Hair Mask. Every product we carry at Haskill Creek has been personally tested, ingredient-checked, and carefully chosen. We’re always reevaluating and curating to ensure our selection reflects only the best—clean, sustainable, and effective.

We also want to revisit some of the earlier gift guides we’ve shared this season:

If you’re still not sure where to start, we recently shared some thoughts on the psychology of gift giving—a look at why giving feels so good, and how to choose gifts that truly resonate. You can read that post here.

Before we wrap up, we want to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out for our Holiday Shopping Event before Thanksgiving. It was such a wonderful night, filled with laughter, connection, and community. We’re endlessly grateful for all of you who continue to make a point to shop small this holiday season. Your support truly makes a difference—70% of every dollar spent at small businesses goes directly back into the community, and we feel that impact every single day here at Haskill Creek.

Wishing you a cozy start to December, and a few early turns on the mountain! We can’t wait to see you in the store soon.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’ve been thinking a lot about the rhythms and rituals that make this season so special. Whether your table is set for a big family gathering or a cozy dinner with just a few loved ones, the Thanksgiving season has a way of inviting us to reflect, reconnect, and savor the simple moments that often get lost in the rush of fall. At Haskill Creek, we love this time of year not only for the food and festivities, but for the chance to reflect on what we’re grateful for. Taking a moment to acknowledge what we’re thankful for—our health, our community, the people who hold us up—is one of the most restorative forms of self-care we know.

If you’re looking for an easy way to weave more reflection into your holiday season, try a few gentle practices we’ve been embracing: jotting down three things you’re grateful for each morning, taking a quiet walk before dinner (headlamp optional), or sharing one highlight of the past year around the table. Gratitude doesn’t have to be elaborate to be meaningful. Sometimes the smallest practices help us feel the most centered and connected.

Speaking of meaningful moments—our annual Haskill Creek Gift Guide is officially here! This year’s guide is filled with thoughtful, beautifully made items for every person on your list. Whether you’re shopping for the beauty lover, the fitness enthusiast, the friend who’s sober curious, the hard-to-shop-for guy, or something that anyone will love, all under $40, we’ve curated gifts that feel personal, purposeful, and actually useful. You can browse the full guide here, and we hope it brings a little ease and inspiration to your holiday planning.

We’re also excited to kick off the season with our Holiday Party & Storewide Sale this Friday from 5–9 PM. It’s one of our favorite nights of the year—a chance to gather, connect, and celebrate with the people who make Haskill Creek what it is. We’ll have raffles, chair massages, gifts, exclusive discounts throughout the store, and free gift wrapping all evening long. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a jump on your holiday shopping, cross a bunch of names off your list, and enjoy a festive night out before the Thanksgiving week fully begins.

And in case you missed it, our most recent blog post highlights Highland, the clean-ingredient haircare brand we’re excited to introduce at Haskill Creek. Their approach to healthy, simplified haircare aligns beautifully with our values—high quality, effective, ingredient-transparent products that support your wellbeing. If you’re curious to learn more, you can read the full post on our website, where we break down why we love the brand and why you should too.

From all of us at Haskill Creek, Happy Thanksgiving.
