Santa doesn’t really live at the North Pole. He lives in Seattle! At least I like to think he’d be a lot like Ted Kennedy Watson, the founder, creative force and curator behind the Watson Kennedy shops in Seattle. Though I’ve not been to the shops in person (yet!), I do know Ted and if you follow along his instagram or blog, you can get a great feel for the types of products his stores carry. They are the kind of things that you want to take home to enjoy because they make life smell better, feel better, taste better and look more beautiful.
But, as this is the giving season, Watson Kennedy is also an amazing source for gift giving. Ted’s favorite gifts to give are the ones that the receiver can enjoy and use. The best candles. The best linens. The finest in food. Unique items that were scoured at a London flea market. The kind of things you really WANT to receive. And, they know how to wrap to impress.
In order to receive items by Dec 24th, you must have your order in by Dec. 15th. You can order online or by phone 800.991.9361.
I think the most fun would be to just call and tell them about the recipient and see what they suggest.
No pressure…but there’s just 2 weeks before Christmas!
Elizabeth, I think that you must come for a visit so we can shop Watson Kennedy – and a few other favorites, too! My Christmas shopping is coming along, but it's never finished until I get to spend an afternoon downtown visiting both WK outposts to make sure I've got just the right gifts for all (you are right, Santa and Ted have a lot inc common!)- followed by a wander through Pike Place Market, which looks fantastic all dressed up for Christmas, and lunch at Le Pichet, my favorite French restaurant in Seattle. There's still time to do your Watson Kennedy shopping in person! XOXO
Elizabeth, as you predicted I fell hard for the goodies at Watson Kennedy after we talked about Ted and his shops the other day. What gorgeous things! Thank you for sharing this fabulous and valuable resource!
Stay warm today! xoxo
Love this store, and it will be the first place I visit if I happen upon Seattle!!
