LOOKING BACK ON 2024
2024 was one for the books—in all the best ways.
Our HH team grew, the original hut in Muskoka celebrated its 14th summer, we brought in more brands we adore, and added even more products to our house line.
We hosted sold-out events (cheers to wine club!) and met some of our favourite brand founders (two even visiting us all the way from New Zealand).
It was a year of more, more, more—and we loved every minute of it. As we wrap things up, we’re brimming with gratitude for our amazing HH community. Keep reading to see what you loved most this year and our highlights from the last 365 days.
WE GAVE TO
It is important to us to support good people doing great things. Especially as it applies to meeting the needs of our greater community. Here's who we've given back to this year.
You helped us raise over $2000 in the month of June to support 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
