It's November, and that means it's time to start thinking about Christmas! It's always best to start shopping early, and we've got the perfect gift: bunny hats from Norma W. They are just so cute and fun. Each one is one-of-a-kind, so you'll be sure to find the perfect one. They make great stocking stuffers, too.

bags for back to school!

It's that time of year again for back to school and back to work. We love these great messenger bags from Cipolla. They come in two sizes and feature amazingly cute prints. She doesn't make many, so you best get yourself to Fresh Collective as soon as possible! These bags make great gifts for those people in your life that are heading back to school and need a new bag to impress all their friends. And these adorable zipper pulls from Space Cat make a great addition to any bag and are a great little gift!

jewellery for all occasions!

We all know that one of the best gifts you can give a woman is jewellery (or diamonds if you ask Marilyn Monroe...) At Fresh Collective, we've got all of your jewellery needs covered. From eclectic to elegant, find your the perfect piece of jewellery for that special someone.





The stunning pearl and chain pieces are by Electric Lollipop and the gorgeous fall inspired pieces are by Sugar Rush!

buttons galore!

Buttons are a great gift. They're small, inexpensive, and have a lot of personality. And we have a lot of buttons at Fresh Collective! Cat lover? Give them a cat button! Superhero addict? We have superhero buttons! You'll start off with a few, but believe us, buttons are addictive. Pretty soon you'll be running out of places to put them! And when that happens, let us know, because we'll have a new bag to show you for all of those new buttons.

the gift that keeps on giving

We're all about cute bags right now and Integrity Designs has brought in some adorable new bags with the most fabulous prints! Look at how much fun they are. And we've decided that a cute bag is the perfect gift: practical, functional and finishes off an outfit. Could you ask for anything more? Give the gift of 'cute bag' this summer!

Father's Day Gift Ideas!

Father's Day is super-duper close and we've got some great gift ideas for all the awesome Dads out there.

Fresh Collective isn't just full of fabulous things for ladies. That's right, we've got clothes for the guys as well. Check out this wicked t-shirt by Yasmine Louis. She's using inspiration from all around Toronto for her silk screen prints. We carry t-shirts, polos and zip up hoodys, so come by and find the perfect one for your Dad soon.

Nothing quite says "I love you" to your baby-daddy like a pair of comfy Candi Factory briefs. And it's a treat for too, because you don't have to see him walking around in those ratty, old briefs he's currently wearing.
Of course, to go along with your great gift, you're going to need a card! We've got some very manly cards (blank inside) from Comfortably Lovely and Utility Grade.

Happy shopping and tell those Dads they rock!

Comfortably Lovely Vintage Goodies

We have a delightful new line of vintage greeting cards, notebooks & buttons from Comfortably Lovely!

These are all made using authentic (no photocopies here!) magazines, catalogues & maps....and all make great gifts. Below is just a sampling of what there is:

Check out the buttons made from old road maps: There's many local (Toronto) & provincial (other Ontario cities) to choose from. What great souvenirs to give to someone who's moving to one of those cities or maybe moving away & need a little reminder of where they came from!

Diamonds!

We all know that diamonds are a girls best friend, so these "Bloodless Diamonds" from Norma W. should be your best friend too! How cute are they? FBG staffer, Siân, already owns two and is constantly getting compliments on them.

And, it's totally cool to give yourself an awesome gift. Just sayin'!

Kitchen Cuteness!

Who doesn't want to look good in the kitchen?

These aprons by Desserts 'n Skirts make great gifts
whether the gift is for someone else or for you!

We've had a couple of people try them on as dresses over tights too!

They may be too cute to get dirty but fear not, they are fully
machine washable. So go on... sift that flour!

The half apron makes an excellent hostess gift
or is perfect for when you're throwing a party.

Whether its to celebrate St Paddy's Day, to give to someone who's down & needs a little luck or something green to chase the dark Winter Blahs colours away, we have something for that!
