Just like that, the gift-giving season is upon us!
Luckily, there's a new spot to help celebrate the special people and special moments in your life with ease. Now open in Northwoods Village, STEMS by Stong’s is a new gift shop and florist concept owned and operated by the team behind the beloved Stong’s Market. The new STEMS specializes in fresh flowers from local growers with a curated selection of housewares, premium chocolates, greeting cards, and giftable treasures that will surely make your holiday shopping a breeze.
Of course, when it comes to gifting, you can never go wrong with flowers.
“STEMS prides itself on being the top choice for customers seeking high-quality, beautiful florals and unique gifts for every occasion,” says Stacy Smith, Department Manager of STEMS by Stong’s. “We are committed to sustainability, supporting local, building community, and bringing style into the lives of our customers.”
One gift that’s caught our eye this season is their bouquet subscription service, which delivers fresh floral arrangements to your door each month for the duration of your choice. It’s the ultimate way to brighten up your home or gift a smile to someone you love.
The full-service florist at STEMS will also offer flowers by the stem and an ever-changing selection of stylish succulents and dramatic tropical plants from within their sun-filled space. STEMS’ glass walk-in floral cooler will house a variety of fresh local and imported options too, including ready-made floral arrangements—perfect for last-minute gifts like “thank you” or “I love you” bouquets. Of course, arrangements can be customized to match your favourite colors or floral varieties. If you’re not sure what to pick, just ask the STEMS team.
“For fall, we’re bringing in stunning hues of burgundy, orange, and muted green,” says Smith. “But we know many of our customers love the timeless combination of white flowers paired with eucalyptus—a shop favourite!”
STEMS also has an expanding wedding and special events program and will regularly host workshops and floral demonstrations in their beautiful new space in Northwoods Village.
