Celebrating International Women’s Day & 21 Years of Oleander with Self-Care
March is a very special month for us here at Oleander. This year, International Women’s Day on March 8th also marks our 21st anniversary - a milestone we’re incredibly proud of as a woman-owned business rooted in creativity, community, and care.
Since opening our doors, Oleander has been dedicated to celebrating beauty in all its forms: through flowers, thoughtfully curated gifts, and meaningful connections. We are especially proud to feature many products from women-owned brands whose values align with ours - quality, sustainability, and intentional living.
This International Women’s Day, we’re shifting the focus to something we all deserve more of: self-care.
Self-Care as a Celebration
Self-care isn’t indulgence, it’s nourishment. It’s about taking small moments to rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself. Whether that looks like a quiet evening with a candle, a luxurious bath, or a mindful skincare ritual, we believe self-care should feel beautiful and accessible for everyone.
We’ve curated a selection of some of our favourite women-owned brands to help you create your own self-care moments at home this IWD:
Wildwood Creek
A woman-owned company founded by Tamara in Nova Scotia, Wildwood Creek specializes in handcrafted, natural products. We carry their soaps, diffusers, and botanical mists - perfect for creating a calm, spa-like atmosphere.
Sealuxe
Inspired by the West Coast, Sealuxe brings nature into your daily rituals with bath teas, body oils, face masks, and body soaps designed for deep relaxation and skin nourishment.
K'pure Naturals
This beloved Canadian brand offers cleansing oils, brightening serums, lotions, body butters, and essential oils - simple, effective products that support both skin health and self-care routines.
Powder Design Inc.
Add a touch of luxury with their Lavender Velvet Eye Masks or Velvet Sunglasses Pouch in Exotic Leaves - beautiful accessories that make rest feel a little more special.
21 Years, 21 Tulips
To celebrate both International Women’s Day and our 21st anniversary, we’re offering a special floral treat:
On March 5th, 6th, and 7th, enjoy two bunches of beautiful, locally grown tulips for $21.
It’s our way of saying thank you - for supporting a woman-owned business, for shopping local, and for being part of the Oleander community for over two decades.
A Day to Rest and Reflect
On Sunday, March 8th, our store will be closed as we take the day to care for ourselves and honour the spirit of International Women’s Day. We hope you’ll do the same - whether that means gifting yourself flowers, enjoying a bath ritual, or simply taking a quiet moment to breathe.
Here’s to 21 years of creativity, connection, and community. And here’s to celebrating women - today and always.
Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at Oleander
