I'm going to do a spinoff thread where people can share their favorite indie places! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-the-holiday-season#post-2919896 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 20:40:25 +0000 wrkbrk 2919896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: I’ve found some of the best small shops and BIPOC owned small businesses on Instagram! That and Etsy. And you can buy directly from them online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-the-holiday-season#post-2919893 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 18:20:30 +0000 ilovepie 2919893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've been thinking through how to prioritize small businesses and plan ahead. I already get a calendar from Mpix each year for MIL and tgrandma. I finished designing and ordering those today. I think the key for small businesses is to plan ahead and order early. </p> <p>I've considered candles from Pretty Honest Candles, and popcorn from Lammar Marie's. I have a running list of companies that I'd like to support and I'm just trying to line them up with people who I think would appreciate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-the-holiday-season#post-2919891 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:19:11 +0000 LadyDi 2919891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's another Christmas thread started with some great ideas: <a href="https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-1" rel="nofollow">https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-the-holiday-season#post-2919888 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:02:52 +0000 Clementine12 2919888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy late October bees!</p> <p>I am panicking a bit at the thought of Christmas already - worried mostly about shipping times when everyone is ordering online with a sprinkling of wanting to support small business/BIPOC owned business at this time thrown in.</p> <p>Anyone else have this on the mind already? Mind sharing your lists or sources to help fellow bees out?</p> <p>My DD2 is 1 on Dec 15th and her big present will be a new carseat. She also needs clothes.</p> <p>For Christmas, I think the big "Santa" gift to both girls will be a dollhouse? Then accessories and some books will round us out. More clothes and maybe some "experience" gifts depending on what the future looks like I suppose. Dd1 is 3.5 - might get her some preschool stuff (we held back from starting her in the fall, are aiming for fall 2021 now #thankscovid).</p> <p>Hoping to avoid Amazon for all of this and the big shops for clothes. </p>
