We’ve been thinking a lot about the holidays coming up. We have also been starting to think about what gifts to get for family and friends. We feel like once people start to get to a certain age, they don’t really are about “things” per se, and we really think that now, people are looking to try new things and have different “experiences” they can talk to their friends about.
AND, as much as we can … let’s try to shop local to support our friends/family & community ❤️
We have put together a list of ideas, that could warrant these experiences and, of course, contribute to a clutter free holiday!
