THE TRADITION OF THE SEASON
STORY BY CINDY BURCH
Step into The Dove’s Nest this holiday season and you’ll find a winter wonderland so
richly decorated, it’s nearly impossible to take it all in with just one visit. The moment
you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed by a serene and elegant display centered
around nativities, angels, crosses, and other meaningful religious items-beautifully
arranged in a palette of creams, greens, and golds.
The shelves are brimming with customer-favorite candles and diffusers, including
beloved brands like Thymes’ Frasier Fir, Voluspa, Holiday by Nest, Illume, and
the store’s own signature private label scents. At the heart of the store, a whimsical
gingerbread cookie theme brings a playful holiday spirit to life. Two towering Christmas
trees are adorned with gingerbread men, sugarplum ornaments, gumdrop garlands, pink glittery reindeer, and blown-glass candy decorations-creating a magical, candy-
colored scene that’s sure to charm visitors of all ages.
Of course, the store is also stocked full of beautiful clothing, stylish accessories, kitchen
essentials, home décor, and plenty of unique stocking stuffers. New this season is a
specially curated men’s section, featuring performance shirts from popular brands like
Raised by Coyote and Flag & Anthem. You’ll also find a great selection of gifts for
the men on your list-including beard oils, handcrafted soaps, aftershave, and fun and
festive socks. A bourbon-inspired corner stocked with Woodford, Reserve cherries,
aromatic bitters, and yes-even bourbon-flavored toothpicks. And to officially kick off
the season, don’t miss The Dove’s Nest Annual Holiday Event on Thursday, November
20, from 4–8 PM. It’s a festive evening filled with holiday cheer, exclusive shopping,
and some exciting new arrivals.
