An amazing way to wrap up holiday shopping
Now that we are officially past the first of December, I can start talking Christmas, right? We go big on Christmas around here. We’ve been listening to carols for at least a couple of weeks, the house got all decked out right after Thanksgiving, and our giant tree has been up since last weekend. We love Christmas.
If, like me, you’re looking to wrap up your last few presents without leaving the comfort of your home, but you’re trying to avoid throwing more money at Jeff Bezos, I have some amazing online shops to suggest. I am not getting kickbacks from any of these links, but I do get to enjoy the friendship of these wonderful people and I am so proud of what they put out into the world.
The Orchid and Crow Studio offers gorgeous handcrafted gifts that are pure magic. For anyone who is interested in herbal tinctures but is staying away from alcohol, Audrey’s glycerites are incredible. If I had to pick a favorite, it would likely be her sea rose glycerite, but everything in this shop is incredible. She also offers bath salts, adorable fire starters, and gorgeous smoke cleansing sticks.
If you’re searching for the perfect gift for an art lover, look no further than Rachel Robbins’ Right as Ran Eclectic Art. From framed originals to awesome totes, you are sure to find something to please among the delightful designs. I personally love the small is beautiful collection and the totes.
For more art gifts with a little more tropical bent, you should check out the incredible photos of Tyson Bourassa at In the Ocean. He’s got some fantastic shots of turtles that are my particular favorites.
Kristin Lagasse at Creative K Designs has some awesome handmade jewelry that makes a great standalone or tucks perfectly into the toe of a stocking for that final gift that is sure to thrill.
If you’re looking to gift an amazing wellness experience, you should absolutely book a mixed modality integrated session or a Usui Reiki session with Hallowell Well. You can check out all their offerings at https://www.facebook.com/hallowedwell. Mea Tavares is an amazing practitioner and even does distance Reiki sessions if your recipient cannot make it to Hallowell. I can personally attest to the impact of these sessions. They are incredible. Amazing energy work received without having to leave the comfort of your own room? Yes, please!
There are so many amazing makers and practitioners in my life that I know I must be forgetting some, but I hope you take a few minutes to check out these amazing small businesses and hopeful check off a few more people on your list!
