Boom Bath & Body

"Boom Bath and Body is a proudly Winnipeg-based company creating bath, body and self-care products designed to turn everyday routines into moments worth looking forward to. Our popular Aromatherapy Shower Boosters were created for anyone who loves the spa-like experience of a bath but prefers the ease and convenience of a shower.

Simply place the single-use tablet in your shower and let the water and steam release its beautiful aroma, transforming an ordinary shower into a refreshing sensory escape. It’s an easy way to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy a little well-deserved self-care—even on the busiest days.

As a proud Presale Sponsor of the Third + Bird Holiday Market, we’re excited to share one of our Single Shower Booster Tablets with shoppers. We hope it gives you the perfect introduction to Boom Bath and Body and makes your next shower feel a little more special!"

Chocolate Butterfly

"Chocolate Butterfly Co. is a home fragrance brand based in Winnipeg. We create beautiful fragrances that are meant to be part of everyday life. From coconut wax candles and room sprays to reed diffusers and our best-selling car diffusers, our scents are thoughtfully created to fit naturally into the way we live.

From slow mornings and drives to work to having friends over or winding down at the end of the day, there's a scent for all the moments in between. We're particular about what goes into our products and how they're made too, using a blend of essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils because what you bring into your space matters to us.

For Third + Bird, we're sharing a 5 ml version of our best-selling car diffuser in Relax, a fresh blend of sea salt and freesia. While it's made to bring a beautiful scent along for the drive, it can also be used to add fragrance to small spaces like linen closets, dressers, mudrooms and totes. Each diffuser comes packaged with instructions for use."

*Disclaimer*

Pick up your gift at the market (expect an email closer to the date with further instructions on where to go!) first come first served. Once a sponsor's stock runs out, remaining ticket holders will get whichever gift is still available.
