Life and Style by Tammy Leopaldi
No usual Thursday blog post today. Just a moment to wish you all Happy Holidays from HOLB. We all know this holiday season and this entire year for that matter looked much different from year’s past but I hope you can find peace and comfort in the most beautiful holiday of the year.
A very rare Saturday post from me BUT one I wanted to get out before the holidays for 2 reasons. One, I think it’s SO important to support small businesses especially during the holidays and this trying time. Small businesses especially are struggling. I know this pandemic has affected my business greatly. Two, I think some of the businesses I’m highlighting in today’s posts would make some really kick butt last minute gifts! Every small business began with one person’s (sometimes 2 persons) dream. A dream to create a business by sharing something they are passionate about. A dream to help others because they know they could make a difference. And a dream to have a job they truly, truly love. I’m a small business myself and these were my very own dreams when I launched HOLB almost 4 years ago. So today I’m delighted to give you my small business Saturday roundup and share my favorites ones to support!
Summer you are up! Now that we are done shopping for the ladies and the men (and ourselves) it’s time to get serious about the kids! Today my lil helper and I are unboxing the season’s hottest toys with ShopRite. Well she’s unboxing as in ripping the paper right off and I’m narrating. Here we go…
I mean I blinked and realized Christmas is just about 3 weeks away. What the heck?! If you are anything like me you aren’t even close to being done shopping because let’s face it — we have all been shopping for ourselves haha. I usually break these guides into 2 separate posts but with the time crunch I’m putting my gift guides for him and her into 1 big post! Ladies first…
And the gift guides are kicking off! Starting out with my personal fav — my stocking stuffers gift guide under $50! Reason #1 I love this one? You can gift these for stockings, teacher gifts, gal pal gifts, co-workers. The options are endless. Reason #2? You can gift a bunch of these to make 1 big WOW gift!
