#SupportSmallBusinesses – Our Christmas Project

In my previous post about this year’s Christmas season, I mentioned about our goal to support small businesses by sourcing out our Holiday  purchases through them. I am very particular especially on giving them out as gifts because it is a great way of helping them widen their reach. As gift giver, I try, as much as possible, to match the gift with the recipients personality. Or if that is not possible, especially for group like our officemates, I try to find those that are either useful, practical or enjoyable. Through the help of the sellers we supportive, I can say that we were able to meet those criteria for all our gifts.

This project has been a rewarding and exciting one! As I am used to buying gifts in one major trip to the mall, sourcing everything online can be overwhelming, but once we had it rolling, everything went smoothly.

We basically started with those within our circle, our friends or their family’s businesses. The great thing about buying from small enterprises is that I am given the chance to interact and communicate with the owners themselves. The stories of how each venture started is inspiring. There are those that started as hobbies, a way to cope in the uncertainty and anxieties brought about by the quarantine period, while there are those that “bit the bullet” and took a leap of online selling as a source of income during the pandemic. Some started out by believing in a certain product, that later led them to be distributing channels here in the Philippines. Each one has its beautiful story to tell.
