Christmas: Give the Beautiful, the Unexpected, the Durable

 

Kaleidoscope Wind Chime, Artist-made Sea Glass, 5 or 7 Copper Chimes

Available at Coast Chimes

I like Christmas. I like the treats, the getting together, the pretty lights. I do not like the massive impulsive consumption. It's easy to get caught up in it. Easy to grab stuff just because stuff needs to be given. So much packaging, so much junk that is landfill bound in the near future. One thing about Coast Chimes: everything is designed to last and last.

Just one example. See the connections on the chimes in the detail section of the above picture? Those are handmade copper rings: no string, no fishing line, no anything that wears out or breaks. Your chimes will not fall off, ever, promise.

And one more example. See the chimes? Real copper. A metal that looks better and better over time. Almost all 'copper' chimes are powder coated aluminum, and, like all paint, that finish will wear off. Real copper will never wear off.

Consider giving something original, beautiful, and that will not be landfill bound in the near future. Visit Coast Chimes to see a wide selection for all budgets.

Something Beautiful, Something Durable: Gifts That Last

 

Too many gifts provide fleeting pleasure and end up soon discarded, broken, in the landfill. What a shame.

This year, consider a well designed, low impact, long lasting gift. Coast Chimes uses recycled / upcycled materials, natural materials, and materials that are valued by the recycling industry. 

Best of all, each item has been carefully designed to last a long time. For example, the large wind chimes have only copper (even handmade copper hardware), and a small amount of weather resistant cedar. There are customers still enjoying their wind chimes after 20 years!

Shop Coast Chimes for long lasting, beautiful, meaningful gifts.

Everyone Loves Copper — Beautiful Gift!

The thing about copper is that it is beautiful. Other metals are often treated with paint or a powder coating to make them look nice, but that is a temporary finish that will flake off, fade, crack. Over time, copper just looks better and better. That's one reason Coast Chimes' wind chimes are a great choice. They won't be headed for the landfill in a few years.

Coast Chimes' wind chimes are designed for beauty, for sound, and for durability. All the hardware is handmade from copper: the rings that attach the chimes to the cedar roundel, the hooklets, even the wire that holds the beach stone clapper.

When looking for the perfect gift, consider something that will last, that is unique, that is clearly built with attention to detail and great care.

Go to Coast Chimes to see the selection. As of today, there are 113 items, but that count will be going down fast, and production is pretty much finished for 2021. For the best selection, don't delay.

Christmas Gifts Shop Early Warning

 

Warning: coming up to Christmas, and this year is different. In the past, customers could shop up until about the 15th of December, and still have a good selection, still expect to get their order in time. Now the post office is much, much busier, shipping times are already delayed: this will get worse. Covid-19 has caused online shopping to take off like crazy, and Coast Chimes has struggled to keep up, and to keep stock.

Some popular items are already sold out (like diamond-shaped freestanding kaleidoscope suncatchers). Stock is limited, and becoming more limited. There is currently a wonderful selection of awesome wind chimes and suncatchers, but it may be slim pickings by early December. I am hoping to have time to still make more works, but that all depends on how much packing / shipping I am doing. So no guarantee.

In short, to avoid disappointment shop early.

The Sunshine Coast Art Crawl was a huge success-- so many people dropping in at Coast Chimes, excited, enthusiastic, curious. Always a thrill, those three days!

Every spring and summer, I work really hard to prepare as much stock as possible for the annual Sunshine Coast Art Crawl. Just before the Art Crawl, I put away all my tools to more than double my gallery space. After the Art Crawl, I now no longer immediately put my workshop back together, instead concentrating on internet sales, packing, shipping, and also keeping the gallery space for locals who drop by for holiday shopping.

This is great, except that my stock goes from relatively huge to dwindling pretty fast. I try to let all my customers know that they really need to order early to get a great selection. Also, it's a great idea to order early because although I pack and ship fast, closer to Christmas I can get backed up with the packing, and the border services / post office can also get overwhelmed somewhat.

So the message is clear: order sooner rather than later. Visit Coast Chimes now, or view my work on Etsy.
