Of course we have heard and conversed about everything we've been told we can't do... now, let's take a breath and refocus as a community on what we CAN do. - A... salon/spa/massage therapist/fitness facility can still sell retail products and gift certificates, which are excellent gift ideas. - SHOPS ARE NOT CLOSED: Occupancy is restricted, so call ahead to inquire about products or ask via messenger. Even order over the phone and pay at pickup or via credit card or e-transfer. Or, be patient and enjoy the mild weather and a warm drink while you wait. - Forget about filling everyone's exact wish lists, and instead explore our local shops for things you never knew you never knew... - Found something cool/creative/impactful? SHARE THAT FABULOUSNESS AND LOVE! Tell someone, post it on your social media, let the RAVES loose! - If you're not keen on take out, restaurant gift certificates are a great gift idea (for yourself or someone else!) but also having someone else cook your lunch or dinner is a treat! - many businesses have invested a lot of money in creating their own online stores and aps. No excuses for those who like to shop from the comfort and safety of your home. If in doubt call the business. I guarantee they will help you! Actions lead to impact. See more
