The Experience, Alameda: Modern Mouse Holidays

The Experience:

Create Serenity for the Holidays

Time to take care of yourself before the onslaught of the holidays overwhelms you. Have yourself a little candle moment. Take some time to visit Modern Mouse gift shop in South Shore Center and take home some necessities to surround yourself with calm and beauty.

One of their featured Makers from Berkeley, Big Softie Studio, designs and crafts small batches of hand-poured prayer candles. One new candle in stock has notes of violet, jasmine and powder – reminding you of Cashmere Blankets. It doesn’t get any cozier than this! Perfect for fall and going into the cold, winter season.
