One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is to find a unique gift for each of my loved ones. To me, the holidays are not about spending a ton of money on gifts that don’t really mean much to that person, it’s about finding that one gift that is unique and special to them. Give being the emphasis here. That being said, I am so excited to share this exciting news with you:

The Grommet – a company based out of Somerville, MA and a resource for makers to get their unique products discovered and helps them succeed – recently opened their first-ever Pop-in Shop just in time for the Holidays! They have partnered with local retailer, Michelle Willey, to set up shop within her storefront in Boston’s South End.

Loved meeting you there! I’m still dreaming of my cake pop too… I’m hoping to get to “pop-in” there one more time before Christmas Eve!

It was so great meeting you as well, Lindsay! Looking forward to seeing you in the near future 🙂 xo
