Mother’s Day Ideas
Hi, friends! Are you looking for a very special gift for Mom? The Playful Garden is filled to the brim with delightful Mother’s Day gifts especially for her. And Napa locals–there’s plenty of parking downtown in the middle of the day while everyone else is at BottleRock!
Wishing all MOMS a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY this Sunday from your friendly and dedicated staff at The Playful Garden
Here are some ideas for those who haven’t had a chance to shop for Mom yet:
The Playful Garden partners with Elyse Winery in May
We’re excited about partnering with Elyse Winery in Napa Valley during the month of May. Just like Elyse, we love to blend with a variety of colors and textures that titillate the senses. Though unique in our own separate businesses, we both aim to please the senses of sight, smell and touch…and we appreciate and honor Mother Earth as well. Gardening and “vines” go hand-in-hand! http://www.elysewinery.com
Since The Playful Garden is located in the heart of downtown Napa, one can always count on finding a good selection of wine-related gifts in our shop. Many of these items are made from recycled wine products, and are hand-crafted by Napa Valley artists as well.
Are you a wine lover? Have an empty bottle or two lying around just waiting to be recycled? No matter what wine or varietal you choose, we can give your empty bottles a new life! Just bring your favorite special occasion bottle into the store, and we’ll have a wine-scented soy candle hand-poured for you for only $24.
You’re invited…ELYSE WINE TASTING MAY 4!
Please join us at The Playful Garden for a wine tasting of Elyse Winery’s new release, a 2012 Rosé, on Saturday, May 4th from 2:30-5PM. The Elyse Rosé is made in the style of the wonderful French wines of Tavel, Lirac and Bandol . This wine has a salmon pink hue and delicate aromas of raspberries, nectarines, green grasses, rhubarb and strawberries with cream. Perfect when paired with Mother’s Day shopping! We look forward to seeing you at the tasting.
Cheers! Santé!

Have a heart?
Happy New Year, Playful Garden friends!
Are you intrigued by, or a collector of nature hearts? Bring in a heart-shaped rock, shell, leaf, etc. and we’ll give you 10% off any “heart” gift (meaning heart-shaped or containing a heart). Oh heck, in the spirit of love we’ll include anything with the word “love” in it as well! We have a fabulous selection of heartful gifts, from heart pendants to hand-crafted clay wall hearts.
This offer expires the end of the day on Valentine’s Day, so you have a whole month to find your nature heart, which will have a place of honor in our front display window. Here’s a collage with a few ideas…(okay, we realize that a heart-shaped spider web might be a little difficult to bring in…)
We’re open every day of the week, but throughout the month of January our hours are: Monday-Wednesday: 12-5PM, Thurs.-Sat. 11am-5PM, Sun. 11am-4PM. If you have a special need and are unable to stop by during these hours, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to make special arrangements.
Hope to see you soon!
