SHOP SMALL. SUPPORT LOCAL.

SEASONS greetings As the new year starts to peek around the corner, the season of hosting and gift giving begins! For us, this holiday season is all about making up for lost time and making new memories. To help, we’ve developed this Albuquerque and El Paso-local gift guide, stocked with some of our favorite places and party tips + tricks. With small business Saturday this week, kick off your holiday shopping by supporting your favorite nearby maker!

How can we be mindful in both gift giving + shopping?

When we give gifts mindfully, we give from the heart. We think about what is meaningful to the receiver of the gift.

How do we want them to feel? Giftgiving is really an act of love— a true and thoughtful gesture that shows people what they mean to you and how much you care about them!

But wait!

Gifts that are purchased from locally owned shops are meaningful both to the receiver and to the shop owner. We believe our culture has a deeper hunger to slow down and connect with our children, friends and neighbors. Make a day of it— grab your crew and shop local!

Enjoy perusing our top favorite gifts— we are thankful for our local businesses and for you! We hope that this guide is helpful as you enter the holiday season.
