Supporting local does not stop at restaurants there are plenty of local shops you can stop at to add to your holiday shopping. There are many unique shops in Windsor-Essex to stop in and see what they have for our shopping needs. Ocean Bottom is a unique, cruelty free and all-natural store that includes, soaps, diffusers, essential oils, face masks and beard oils. They have something special for everyone! And everything is handmade, and their website is easy to navigate and find the perfect gift for someone special. There is a holiday box for $47.99 that features a variety of soaps, lip balm and scrubs, the scents are for both men and women and will have everyone feeling fresh this holiday.

Crave & Co is found on Instagram and located in Lasalle, this is a fun company that offers ‘smash-heart boxes’ that can be filled with chocolate covered strawberries, chocolates and more starting at $28. They also offer a savory option which is charcutier boards, which has a variety of meat, cheese, bread, and fruit, starting at $30. They are amazing and I have ordered the smash heart and it is well worth the drive! It is a fun gift for the family and makes a great add on gift.

When we shop local, we help these businesses stay open and help them thrive through the holidays and stay open due to COVID-19. There are their other local shops to check out too such as, Shop Eco, Metaphysical Creations, and smudge.
