I love Christmas a lot. Like, a LOT. Everything about it, except how I used to buy things without
thinking about ingredients, or thinking about supporting local businesses. Over the past several
years, I’ve swapped out typical gifts for things I think people will enjoy that are also GOOD for them.

This holiday season, I challenge you to join me in supporting local, small businesses over “big
box” companies, AND give healthier and more mindful gifts to everyone on your list!
Here’s my gift-giving guide for 2023; most of these are TN local small businesses I know and
love, others are just so dang awesome I had to share because they’ve helped my family in our
wellness journey.

BONUS: Many of these things are shippable nationwide, too!

TLDR: Give these to your people for holiday gifts this year. They will love it and you’ll be
deemed the Gift Hero of the Year. You might want to snag some of these for yourself, too!
