We Trovesters are dog lovers (really, animal lovers) through and through! We love our pups and tend to spoil them rotten. So, we're happy to stock stylish accessories, funny necessities (anyone see our politically themed poop bags this year?) and other goodies for the dog-lovers themselves.
Last Minute Gifts
If you're not quite finished with your holiday shopping, get thee to #thenoke! We have fab gifts for everyone, from slick barware and unique cook books to home fragrances and decor, to the most coveted S'well bottles (hot liquids stay hot for 12 hours, cold liquids stay cold for 24)! And, if you've ever been inside The Trove, you know we have SO! MUCH! MORE! in store.
Swing in to The Trove and polish off your last minute list. We'll even help you out with tissue and bags for each of your gifts. Add a sprig of evergreen to the bag, clipped from your tree, perhaps, and you're good to go!
FYI: The Trove will be closing at 2pm on Saturday, December 24th.
NYE Prep
We know, it's not even Christmas Eve and we're already planning for New Year's Eve. But we take the year's biggest party kind of seriously, okay?
We're prepping skin for a healthy sheen with decadent body oil by Little Barn Apothecary, getting our essentials in order and topping it all off with a luxurious dose of crushed velvet.
NYE is the perfect time to shimmer and shine, no matter if you're hitting the town or toasting at home!
Shop with us before you finalize your New Year's Eve ensemble.
Deck the Halls
“Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree...”

Glittering Jewels
We source gilded bits of loveliness from all corners of the planet, bringing them to our little slice of Roanoke. Our massive collection of jewelry features something for everyone (more like 73 various options for everyone). And, we happen to think the best presents come in the smallest of packages.

Giving Thanks
We Trovesters are so excited for the tastiest of days, Thanksgiving! While we have a whole slate of festive shenanigans planned for this season, we always love to kick off the holidays by sharing some of our fondest memories, most favorite traditions and those highly anticipated, carb-heavy side dishes we can't wait to devour.
“As a kid, we spent Thanksgiving at my Grandma and Grandpa Welker’s home. After the huge dinner that my grandma prepared all by herself, starting at 4 am, she would slip off for a nap. My dad and uncles would take the kids outside, no matter the weather, for some football. We would kick field goals over the most perfectly spaced limbs on a big tree in their front yard. I was the only girl in the bunch and I loved being part of that.”
“Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday! I love the 5 am turkey bastings, our traditional morning run with those willing to brave my brother in law’s routes, my Dad’s famous Bloody Mary’s (obscene amounts of horseradish!), group food prep, snacking from sun up to sun down, my mom’s fab carrot cake and the lively dinner conversations (avoiding politics this year). And I’m always so thankful to spend it with family members who trek from the East Coast. Bring on the food coma! ”
“Some of my traditions have changed through the years, but one of my most cherished memories was serving those less fortunate at Pine Street Inn, when I lived in Boston. When I moved to Fort Wayne, I gladly signed up to serve lunch for The Boys and Girls Club. Giving back to others is so important and I’m happy to do my part. In recent years, Thanksgiving finds me traveling abroad with my family. I’m so thankful to make new, enriching and meaningful memories with them while I can.”
“My memories are of a classic Thanksgiving with my family, preparing and enjoying a very traditional menu. My mother’s stuffing is always perfect and my sister makes the most heavenly ginger cookies, topped with a pumpkin spread. I dream of their signature dishes year round. After we’ve eaten way too much, we set up my mother’s Christmas decorations, including her treasured nativity scene. It’s a lovely tradition we all adore, especially my mother.”
We wish you and yours a lovely day filled with good food, lots of laughter and gratitude.

Blessings
We Trovesters strive to be charitable throughout the year and are dedicated to spreading as much love around as possible. One of our favorite organizations is Blessings in a Backpack, a nonprofit that feeds elementary age children in Allen County, on the weekends during the school year. Without the assistance from this program, many of these children would go hungry over the weekend, with little to no food from Friday afternoon dismissal until Monday morning, when school is back in session. The thought of hungry children, right here in our community, is too much to bear, which is why we are fervent supporters of this dedicated organization.
We will always help to support this fine organization but this year, we're making it easier for you to help out, too! At The Trove and The FIND, we're stocking this delightful Santa poster, illustrated by architect, artist and co-founder of Blessings in a Backpack, Mike Gouloff. The poster is $10, with 100% of the proceeds going to Blessings in a Backpack, and the sale of each will feed about 4 children for a weekend.
The poster makes for a lovely and charming gift for friends, family or yourself! And, the recipient will be doubly cheered when they know how the gift helped to fill the bellies of less fortunate children in our community.
Wishing you and yours the most beautiful of blessings during this festive holiday season!

Lip Service
We Trovesters love little luxuries. What could be better than an accessible touch of glamour as part of your am and pm skincare routines as well as on the go? High quality, safe beauty products and chic design, at an affordable price, is why we adore Henné Organics. The brand's vision "is to reintroduce a splash of luxury into the everyday without sacrificing design, ethics or one’s health. A modern and minimalistic approach replaces standard lip care products with something extraordinary."
Founder, Laura Xiao, says, "Living abroad and moving frequently forced me to declutter and truly focus on the essentials. When you’re living out of suitcases for several years, you quickly realize what’s important and what you can be without. This habit quickly developed into an essential part of my being and has led to a strong appreciation for beauty in simplicity and luxury in the basics." Thus, Henné Organics was born with a well-edited range of lip care products that bring a touch of elegance to an everyday, typically utilitarian, product.
New to the line is the cult fave lip balm in tube form, the highly anticipated Luxury Lip Balm V2. This sleek tube joins the best selling Luxury Lip Balm and Rose Diamonds Lip Exfoliator, both available in chic little pots. All Henné Organics products contain natural and organic ingredients proven to heal and soothe delicate skin.
Come experience Henné Organics for yourself and pick up a few extras for stocking stuffers or girlfriend gifts! We believe everyone needs a little bit of luxury every day.
Yonder
There's almost nothing more classically American than jeans and a T shirt. While some are too boxy, too stiff and corporately bland, it only takes looking at images of James Dean and Jackie O to see how stylish, and enduring, a simple T shirt can be. Modern options are softer than you can imagine, in cuts that flatter multiple body types and with designs that inspire, making the once humble T shirt a staple of the modern wardrobe, which can be styled in myriad ways.
Yonder T shirts are all of the above and we're thrilled to carry the brand in store. Blasting Hoosier pride with style and comfort makes us Trovesters incredibly happy! We pair ours with our favorite denim and booties, with oversized boyfriend cardis, leggings and ballet flats and even under a crisp blazer with heels. And, quite frankly, we're hard pressed to change out of our well-loved and oft-worn T's, so you'll find us cuddled up on our couches in them, too.
