Shop the Tri Gift Guide: For the Little Babes

Updated: Dec 15, 2020

This is something I've been wanting to do for years. Leave it to being stuck at home, between projects, and in the middle of a pandemic, to get to work. As an entrepenuer, small businesses have a special place in my heart. Prior to freelance life, I worked for an agency that administered small business financing to many of the same locally owned shops and businesses that I love today. It wouldn't feel right to create a gift guide that didn't showcase at least some of the amazing products and services the Tri-Cities has to offer.

While public health restrictions contine to keep many of us at home, it was important to me to focus this guide on locally owned businesses who need our support the most. Each item in the Shop the Tri Gift Guide(s) was thoughtly selected with the people I love in mind. In fact, the whole family (well 3 out of 4 of us) got in on the fun and hand picked a few of the gift ideas. One of us, I won't mention any names, even treated themself to a few early birthday gifts! #sagittariusseason
