local restaurant. Everyone loves to eat, and restaurants are still struggling to recover, so it’s a win-win for everyone.

183. Toiletry Bag
If you have a frequent traveler client, send them a

I believe this gift is ideal for a tea or coffee lover who works from home. This
clever mug maintains the proper temperature of beverages, ensuring that they are never too hot or cold.

192. Order a Favorite Song
One holiday gift idea you should consider is ordering a song from a US-based, independent singer and artist, Anne Reburn. Anne is a talented one-woman singer/business woman trying to succeed in the uber-competitive music industry.

193. A Small-Brand Self-Care Box
Curate a box of luxuries from independent beauty brands. The best natural and holistic skincare products are often handcrafted by individuals and small businesses rather than mass-produced. Invest in self-care essentials for a loved one to help them through this uncertain time. A

I had a lot of fun making my piece, and I think it will be ideal for a group of girls around the holidays.
197. A Little Artisanal Luxury
While the pandemic has affected many craftspeople, designers and non-profits have shown true solidarity by working together to preserve their livelihoods. By giving a gorgeous mask from
Nest's Masks by Makers collection, you are directly supporting an artisan enterprise. Or, for a touch of luxury, try one of the Ray The Collection cushion coverings, created to allow the Saheli Women's Collective to work from home and create these gorgeous embroideries during the lockdown.
198. Raising a Glass to Support...
Raising a glass to support an African-American-owned business.
Without a doubt, 2020 necessitated an abundance of wine. Raise a glass in celebration of making it through the year with these vibrantly colored handblown stemmed wine glasses by

227. Photography Session with Print
As a
newborn, maternity and family photographer, Covid has affected my business as a in-home photographer. With the uncertainty of the pandemic, families are forgoing photography and missing out on these special milestones which is truly heartbreaking. I believe that photography is art, and that families deserve to have their photos taken to remember these special moments that are so fleeting. Photography truly is the gift of time, being able to transport you back to a feeling and moment.
228. HOLIDAY DUCKS ARE HERE!
In a time of Covid, it has definitely been challenging as getting products back in stock takes twice as long with so many supply chain issues. It really is too bad as we keep selling out of things! However, it's great that people love our CelebriDucks which make fantastic holiday gifts. They also love our PVC free Good Ducks that we make 100% in the USA which are the safest rubber ducks on the market for teething babies and the only rubber ducks still being made in America!
