It’s that time of year again. You know the one. The season of shopping, celebrations, bountiful feasts, shopping, office parties, Santa, long lines, shopping, overindulgence, and shopping. if you plan to start on your gift list early, if the first week of November is early for you, I’d like to invite you to attend an event that just might make your life a little easier. It’s time for Let’s Go Shopping.
So as to keep the introductory text to a minimum, if you have no idea what Let’s Go Shopping is, I wrote an article about what it is and how it started. Read, “Pandemic to Passion Project: Let’s Go Shopping.”
In short, Let’s Go Shopping is an online, accessible, virtual holiday program to showcase a variety of small business entrepreneurs offering their best products suitable for everyone on your gift list. This year, I’m hosting number seven. Over a dozen entrepreneurs are scheduled to bring you everything from food to fashion to tech gadgets and pet toys, artisan crafted gifts and holiday decor. Below is the complete two-day event schedule, the vendor directory, and the Zoom virtual mall login links. Power shop in your pj’s, and skip the brick-and-mortar mall madness.
