Every year we put together a showcase of our favorite items; curated with the intent to help, not only to shop Oracle’s shelves through our eyes, but also to help shop for that soul who has it all. And with that, our annual Holiday Gift Guide presents…
For the Scientist:
Our gift guide starts off with our dearest Scientists. Definitely the tricky friend to buy for, because what haven’t they found on their recent hike or latest adventure that they might want to add to their overflowing curio cabinet? (Sorry, rude of me, always more room on those shelves…) But what about an exotic skull or frame they’ve been eyeing? Or a good book to cozy up with? Something to tie the room together or help with that latest hypothesis? Or something they can DIY, like our Bug kits or Bare Bones Articulation kits (great project to do together)?! Or what about unique bone jewelry? Something inconspicuous to wear in the lab of course…
Probably my favorite choice, is our collaboration with For Strange Women; a Taxidermy Protection spray, that not only smells great, but also helps deter pests for your cherished collection - great for any avid collector…
For the Witch:
Next is for our inner witch! Those dirt and herb stained hands need some time off to tend to themselves for once… so I recommend mandatory cozy rituals; a beautiful brewed cup of tea they haven’t tried yet or a spell jar for extra harnessing of luck. Or candles to inspire some new creativity or tools for their next big ritual? Or how about a pocket edition tarot deck, which would be so great for that reader on the go!
Probably my top pick would be our Unicorn Towers; a new crystal we have never had before which comes from a natural stone called Pegmatite; containing Lepidolite, Pink Tourmaline, Smokey Quartz, and Clevelandite - a wild combo cotton candy affect great for emotional healing, endurance, bringing a positivity to life challenges…
For the Geologist:
Finally our dear Gem-Hounds! What crystal haven’t they brought back from their trek in the woods? (Side note… how do they always find such cool wild gems?!) They always give so much of their dearest gems away, so they need some care in return; maybe help them splurge on that tower they’ve been eyeing… Or some incense, oil, selenite bowls, or salt cleanse to help them on their next moon charging or cleansing rituals? Or a cute bag or locket to hold grounding charms or ashes of their beloved? Or maybe for those just starting in their gem journey, a zine to add some extra tips and tricks in their tool kit?
My top choices are tied for this category, between an original Tyler Thrasher art piece, (an alchemized natural specimen with growing crystals into this most beautiful combination of geology and natural science) and mourning jewelry by Margaret Cross with pearl teeth…
There is so much to choose from, that it’s hard to know where to start - but don’t feel overwhelmed! We also offer gift certificates! If anything else fails, a paw bouquet and a hand written note is a classic loved by all; because above all else, it’s the thought that counts. You can find some of our own curated gift boxes in our ‘new additions’ tab. But do come in and we’d be so happy to help guide you into picking your just the right specimen. Not everything on these guides are listed online, so if you see something you are in love with, please email us at oraclenaturalscience@gmail.com
Hope that helps and Happy Holidays <3
