HG Heroes
What makes a product a hero? Usually, it's something that takes pride of place in your home due to its inherent proposition: great design, good value, and used over and over again. We took a look at what you loved most this year, and present our HG heroes. If you love following trends or enjoy a good Top 10, take a look.
1. Poseidon Tumblers
Whether it's just the right pop of colour or their organic shape that feels so good in your hand, these Italian tumblers are at the top of our list, and yours too.
2. Grade A Maple Syrup
Where we can, we source locally. Our maple syrup comes from Ontario's French River region. Made over wood-burning fires, it's considered the best in the world, having been awarded the Gold Medal at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair multiple times.
3. The Cheese Knife
It wasn't just you who loved this knife, it was awarded "Best in Market" at the New York Gift Show. Designed to be the only knife you need, its multi-purpose design makes slicing, spreading and spearing cheese a breeze.
4. Teardrop Cruet
We love dressing our salads as the Italians do: drizzle lots of olive oil, add a touch of vinegar and finish with a pinch of salt. This double-walled cruet not only looks great, its narrow spout means no over-pouring or over-dressing. Buon appetito.
5. HG Bedding
Made in Portugal exclusively for Hopson Grace, there have been more than bedroom eyes for our POM and PONTO sheets and duvet covers. Made of the best cotton in the world, long-staple Egyptian percale.
6. Boucle Alpaca Throw
Comparable to cashmere but without its price tag, these throws were spun and woven entirely by hand in the Peruvian Andes. Because it lives in such high altitudes, the alpaca withstands extreme weather, making its coat warmer and stronger but lighter than wool, and ideal for those with sensitive skin or asthma.
7. Raw Ontario Honey
Among our bestselling products of all time, you've had a sweet tooth for our raw honey for some time. Made in Prince Edward County, this lively, complex honey has a medley of notes and is gathered in fields that border Lake Ontario. Unheated, unprocessed and naturally organic, raw honey maintains its minerals, vitamins, enzymes and powerful antioxidants and can help regulate the body's blood sugar levels. Anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties also make it an excellent cough medicine. How sweet is that?
8. Luca + Hugo Wine Stoppers
These local heroes are made with Ontario maple and walnut just outside of Toronto. An elegant way to top off your unfinished wine, and with designs that are a marriage of contemporary and rustic.
9. HG Classic Tumblers
These modern beauties are sustainably made in the heart of Tuscany, with no pollution or atmospheric discharge in the production. They're modern classics, perfect for water, juice or your evening "short" cocktail such as whisky, G&T or an Old Fashioned.
10. Belgian Pillar Candles
Molded in Belgium using traditional methods and finished by hand, these candles have an uneven, textured surface that reinforces their handmade quality. As they burn down, each pillar takes on an organic shape of its own. Like us, they only get more interesting as they age.
