Gilbert Whitney & CO

Mom really was right about everything, wasn't she? What was something your mom was right about that made you OMG?

You're running out of time to get Mom something special for Mother's Day! Let us help! We can help walk you through the store and point out all the cool things mom might love to have. Tell us what she's into to help narrow it down. Does she love tea? Maybe a few different tea boxes (bonus - tea is 20% off). Does she love spice? We have a wonderful array of spices to choose from.... Does she love to bake cookies? We have a whole section of our wall dedicated to cookie cutters! So many possibilities - come in and let's make a Mother's Day Gift Box together! (Also ignore our little typo in the picture - Mother's Day is May 9th, but we're not open that day!)

Don't forget! It's Cinco de Mayo which means 20% off all taco accessories, buy 2, get 3rd free hot sauces, and buy 2 get 3rd free Terrapin squeeze bottles (for all that lime juice and guac sauce you'll be making!)

This was filmed just down the street a bit and around the corner! Go check it out and enjoy some outdoor time today! And get ready for all the fun events that will be happening this summer!

Does mom need a new coffee mug? If you think she does, we've got some super cute ones! And we'll do you one better - any mug purchased comes with a free package of mug cake mix! Now mom can have her cake and eat it too! For wine lovers, we also have $5 off wine tumblers when you purchase a bottle of wine, and for fans of tea, we currently have 20% off all teas! Sales abound this week, and it's all thanks to Mother's Day!

Just living isn’t enough said the butterfly, one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower - Hans Christian Anderson Such truth, and in these times when we are emerging from our cocoons, what’s better than flowers, and butterflies! Magnet butterflies in all the colors of the rainbow and Free seeds to plant to celebrate a new season! Pick your favorite seeds for Free with any purchase. Available in store or online at gilbertwhitney.com #spring #butterflies #bentleyseeds #fluttergallery #freeseeds #shoplocal #mothersdaygift #lovemom

We're paying it forward next week! As someone who worked hard and gave selflessly, putting themselves in harm's way for the greater good, we'd like to honor the spirit of Martin Luther King by offering a 15% discount for all first responders. We figure it's the least we can do for all your hard work! If you're a nurse, doctor, EMT, firefighter, policeman, or otherwise work as a first responder, show your work ID and get 15% off your entire purchase!

Good for the planet and for you! Skip the stinky sponges and go straight to a Swedish dish cloth! Washable, scrubbable, reusable! These dish cloths are a great way to ensure your dishes are squeaky clean all while being eco-friendly and super cute! (How can you not love that polka-dot chicken??)

You know what's great about these measuring cups? Not only do they nest and the stoneware makes them easy to clean, but they also double as prep bowls! I'm a big fan of getting all my ingredients set like chefs on TV. That way they're ready for me in the right amounts when I need them. Great for wet or dry ingredients, they include a little pour spout as well for a focused pouring point. Plus they're super cute! Why stick them in a drawer when they can be adorable decorations right on your counter?

This just in! Cilantro lime dressing from Stonewall Kitchen! The best part is that not only is it automatically delicious (because clinatro lime, hello?), but it also comes with a Black Bean Salad recipe on the side, giving you faster access to eating something tasty in case you didn't already have a recipe ready for it! Stop in and get a bottle for yourself (before we buy them all up ourselves, hehe!)

Sometimes you just gotta scoop. A good scoop does come in handy. Perfect for putting coffee beans into the grinder, adding birdseed into your bird feeder, dosing bath salts, or figure out ways to get crafty with them! Remember - #WeHaveAllTheFunStuff, after all.

Don't judge us for thinking of the holidays now. Sometimes, you just gotta find out early if you need a brand new pot or kitchen utensils. Don't want to discover too late that your old stuff won't cut it this year!

Don't forget to snap a selfie at our 'Body Shop'

Did someone say wine gummies? Come out for Ghouls Night Out and try some! And pick up a box or 3 to Win Christmas gifting 2020!

Feeling fallish? We definitely are! Especially with Halloween right around the corner and Thanksgiving next on the list of fun holidays to celebrate. Even better, that's why we're prepping with table accents, turkey roasting pans, baking supplies, and more. We know you'll be in need of new goodies to get the job done, and we don't intend to disappoint!

Guess what? Hot cocoa tin time! If you have any kiddos or know someone with kiddos that would like to enter our art contest, there's still time! The deadline is October 30th and you can get the form at gilbertwhitney.com! The winners (yes - 3 winners!) will get to have their artwork on their very own cans of cocoa, along with a $100 Visa gift card! This cocoa is super tasty, makes for great gifts, and we know some of you will find uses for the tin long after the cocoa is gone!

The best part about these placemats? No need to wash! They're paper, so once they've been used you can toss them out and not worry about an extra chore for the holiday season. Plus, they're still super cute, so expect compliments from friends and family when they're over for dinner. Get fall and Thankgsiving goodies now before they run out (and Christmas takes over!).

It's Monday. Perhaps that calls for a nice glass of wine tonight? You know, to get over those Monday blues. Maybe put on some soft jazz. Or kick back with a good movie. Have you watched Hocus Pocus yet? Maybe that's what you need. A nice glass of wine, and listening to Bette Midler sing "I Put a Spell On You." Sounds like a pretty good way to end the day and kick off the week.

We miss her #rbg #vote #shoplocal

Do you think your kiddo would love to see their art on their very own container of hot chocolate? Well they can! There's still time for kids to enter our hot cocoa art contest! The entry deadline is October 30th, and you can get the entry form at https://gilbertwhitney.com/ (link for the contest is in the top left!), or simply pop into the store and ask! The winner will receive 3 cans of hot chocolate featuring their artwork and a $100 Visa gift card. Even better - there are ...three categories so there will be three winners! Local Square merchants will be the final judges. So if you have a little artist in the family, we'd love to see them join in on the fun!

Loving all these fun new towels we've gotten in! There's bound to be one that speaks to you. Is it the one about the cookies or the one about the Christmas list?

I’ve been watching the line of voters come and go in front of the store for a couple of weeks. It makes me happy, regardless of what the outcome will be, to see so many people wanting to cast their ballot during these uncertain and sometimes scary times. Everyone is wearing a mask, some of them wave to me through the windows. I hope you’re planning to vote, either early or on Nov. 3rd. It’s important. Really important. And, it’s why we live in this amazing country- because we can vote, for whoever we choose. Don’t let this opportunity pass without your voice, for your family, your community, your children, grandchildren. Just vote, it’s that simple.
