I don’t know about you…but I like to make a plan for the holiday’s.
I am very fortunate to have many individuals on my ‘nice’ list, which means if I want to make sure I get a thoughtful gift for everyone, I need to start early.
This year, I am going to share some of my personal favourite local businesses which provide a range of products and services that you will love!
Up first, the ladies. Your Mom, sister, sister-in-law, your best girl friends.
Whether it’s at your holiday get together where you do your gift exchange, or your family celebration, this list will provide a fabulous gift or spark a great idea.
Happy Shopping!
