Holiday Season Shopping Small Business Support
Hello loved ones, friends and clients. I have been moved to share ideas here for where to spend our dollars during the holiday season in order to circulate money to small and medium sized businesses. Of course I'd be thrilled, delighted, and honored if you did some of your holiday shopping with me at Light Goddess Alchemy, choose from small batch, organic skin and bath care items as well as crystals and astrology readings. Interested in a unique gift? Consider gifting a personalized crystal kit consisting of beautiful crystals curated based on the stars and planets at the moment of your loved ones birth.
There are so many options available for meeting the needs of everyone on your list while avoiding Amazon/Walmart/etc and I’ve compiled some of my favorites below to help you on your shopping quest this year. Please message or email me with businesses you think belong on this list and I’ll keep the blog updated. Thank you for your continued support, I’m wishing you wellness and integration this season.
