Last Minute Gifts from PALM

While a membership to PALM Health is a fabulous gift to encourage loved ones to start fresh for the new year, PALM also offers items that are available for curbside pick up. PALM recently revamped its retail space and inventory has been expanded to include products from local businesses and companies with cause-related goals. Below are a few of PALM’s top holiday picks:

Wood Boards

PALM loves these boards as an excellent addition to your holiday table, or a lovely gift for the foodie or chef in your life!

The boards come from White House Farms, a multi-generational family farm outside Highland, Illinois. With 70 acres of fields and forests, the family tradition of woodcraft artistry thrives with custom charcuterie and cutting boards created from old-growth trees. The boards feature solid hardwoods including maple, cherry, and walnut.   

At the farm, Jeremy hand-selects each board, highlighting graining and maintaining the natural “live” edge whenever possible. Another distinct feature is the thickness of his boards- a hallmark of Jeremy’s custom work. His designs are rustic yet sophisticated, making them suitable with any decor. These farm-to-table boards are sealed with a food-safe wax and are easy to maintain: to clean, simply scrub with salt and lemon, then rinse and pat dry.

Premium Global Chile Infusions

PALM Health loves this local small business- Fifth Taste Foods- which hand makes chiles in small batches, using all-natural ingredients. They are Dr. Axe Keto-Approved, plant-based and vegan, gluten-free, and low sodium.

Fifth Taste Foods created oo’mämē ™, a line of Premium Global Chile Infusions to inspire the spirit of adventure in each of us. Each handmade jar is filled with an amazing symphony of layers of authentic flavors in new and unique ways for you to experience the world’s most exciting cuisines. 

With a backbone of chiles, toasted nuts & seeds, and all-natural umami in every bite anyone can make mealtime more exciting. Beginner cooks love the ease and convenience and experienced cooks and chefs love the complexity and versatility. These chile crisps transform basic ingredients into an extraordinary meal. 

SLATE + SALT

This curated lifestyle brand carries products that are intentionally designed and beautifully made to tell a story and are sold to create an impact locally and around the globe.

The company’s mission is to introduce a curated collection of modern, one-of-a-kind pieces while preserving traditional techniques and supporting the Fair Trade movement.  Slate + Salt works closely with small social enterprises to facilitate dignified working opportunities in areas of extreme poverty.

The line of cashmere scarves at PALM are hand-loomed in Pokhara, Nepal by blind, deaf, or disabled weavers. A non-profit organization provides them with the tools, training, and support necessary to become independent through weaving. With such a great cause, these are some of PALM’s most favorite pieces!

Winton and Waits: A Cause-Drive Lifestyle Brand

How can a for-profit business create change in the world? How can we feel just as connected to our purchases and we do to a cause? These are the questions that Winton + Waits founder, Jenna Lee, has been asking over the years as she developed business and design experience through retail, wholesale manufacturing, event planning, and her involvement with social causes.

The result of this unique combination of experience is Winton + Waits, a business that has a passion for curating "story-forward" products in partnership with non-profit organizations locally and globally.  PALM Health loves these luxury bath items which utilize all-natural ingredients and whose purchase benefits the survivors of human trafficking and exploitation.

PALM Health is located at 9160 Clayton Rd, St. Louis, MO 63124. To place an order or to schedule curbside pick up, call 314.801.8898. PALM is open this week from 7AM-7PM Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 7AM-3PM on Christmas Eve.
