Awesome gift ideas!
When you shop in a small business - an actual person does a little happy dance ;-))))
I hope you had a chance to check out a few of my favorite positive mindset videos and books from last week. If you missed it during the holidays, here’s a link to access.
Today, I’d like to share a short list of some local gift sources that I have collected over the years. Included are some of my favorite organic products, gratitude journals, relaxing modalities, essential oils, fun activities, etc. Most of these are not expensive, in fact, some are even FREE. I’ve added some new ones this year that my family is really pumped about!
In a world where you can shop anywhere, please consider shopping local. An average of two-thirds of every dollar ($0.67) spent at small businesses in the U.S. stays in our local economy. Every dollar spent at a small business creates and additional 50 cents in local business activity. As a result of employee spending and businesses purchasing local goods and services, we support our communities and each other.
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel good about the gift you give, that it is healthy, promoting a great lifestyle, and offered by a small business?
Here’s another great idea, put some of these things on “your” wish list too!
The Kombucha Bar - Made in Flemington NJ, these teas are fermented and therefore naturally carbonated and flavored with natural fruits and vegetables, non-GMO, vegan, dairy free and gluten free, so everyone can enjoy them. Order online, or visit in person, and give Marie a smile for me! Link HERE.
Gooserock Farm - Located in Montville, NJ. Visitors are welcome to visit the Honey House, where honey and other farm products are offered for sale, or order online. Link HERE.
Dutch Country Farmers Market - Located in Flemington, NJ. Open year-round, lots of different vendors from meats, veggies, hand-made crafts, etc. Link HERE.
