The season of giving is upon us, and as a small (but growing) company, we know how much the support of your community means. We love nothing more than shining a light on other small businesses that we personally frequent, shop at, work with, serve, and love. This holiday season (and beyond), we encourage you to consider doing the same- shop in your own community and support small businesses!
There are SO many reasons to shop local. We love this list of reasons (and infographics) put together by Sustainable Connections.
There are SO many incredible businesses in all of our markets and the businesses our amazing clients’ businesses have created or are a part of are certainly among them! The below list are just a few of our communities' very favorites in each market!

For every candle sold, Blow will donate a portion of the proceeds directly to a female owned/founded organization with a mission to support and empower other women. And we can’t get enough of her candles!
