La Vie Rustic has stocking stuffers for the cook, the gardener, and even the backyard chicken raiser. Small, easily tucked into a stocking, ready to discover, these little gifts last beyond the moment.

Herbes de Provence  or Sel de Lavande to scatter on goat cheese, to season soups and stews, to rub on succulent legs of lamb – so many possibilities.

Red Poppies and Bishop’s Lace Flower Seeds mixed  in a muslin bag with California rice hulls for ease of scattering to create a swath of flowers, your own small piece of France.
