A Super Soft Alpaca Bear is the Perfect Valentines Gift!


Valentines day reminds us to take a few moments out of our busy lives to reflect and remember someone special.  Along with a card and some heartfelt words we often will bestow a gift to show our love and appreciation.  

When I look back on the gifts that have meant the most over the years they were often unique handmade “From the heart” gifts or gifts that showed a deep understanding of the recipient.  A few years ago, my husband bought me a Stihl BR420 backpack leaf blower for Valentines day...and I was thrilled!  With 7 acres and 50 animals to care for, that blower saved me hundreds of hours and allowed me more time with my family, our horses and our alpacas.  

This year I’m making my husband a special hat from our warm and soft Alpaca Yarnand I’m sure he will love wearing it on our evening walks down to Hayden lake.  Are you looking for something unique for your special person?  Many of our local customers know us for our huge selection of luxury yarns and super warm alpaca socks, however, we also have wonderful Alpaca fur gifts we hope you will come by and see. 


Super Cuddly Alpaca Bears

For the man in your life, we have super warm Alpaca Socks that will keep his feet toasty warm while hunting or camping.  Somehow the truckers running the northern route up Highway 95 discovered us and are now pulling into our little store with their big rigs to stock up on socks before heading into Canada.
