Have you had enough of Black Friday shopping madness, last-minute December mall runs and January debt headaches? Me too. It’s nuts. We seem to have turned the most sacred and celebrated time of year into an excuse to overspend and make ourselves feel good. Let’s stop the madness this year and simplify.
Simplify this holiday season by skipping Black Friday chaos in favour of spending quality time with loved ones and doing your shopping online for simple, sustainable, and ethical gifts. Intentional giving means choosing to spend on gifts and experiences that are handmade, sustainably created, meaningful, and support artisans and/or small entrepreneurs.
Express the love and joy of the season through simple and functional gifts of quality and beauty that make life just a little better. Here are my selections for 2016 (and a special bonus for you at the end!).
