Conscious consumerism is on the rise, customer experience (CX) will dominate industry-leading brands’ approach to marketing next year, and cultivating detail-driven intimacy that makes your consumers feel like you’re speaking ONLY to them is how to drive demand.
And we’re no exception! If you’re anything like us, the idea of standing in Black Friday sale lines (or wading through the thousands of promotional emails you’re bound to get over the next few weeks) feels like a full stop.
We prefer to take a more minimal and relaxed approach to gifting. Especially after another year that included stressors and stimuli, we’re feeling inspired by a less/better approach to everything (including gifting!).
We’re sharing the carefully considered gifts we’ve been eyeing and can’t wait to gift (and receive) this holiday season!
GIVING TUESDAY
GaneshSpace
Looking to spend your money in a meaningful way? This year for Giving Tuesday, consider a contribution to Ganesh Space, a community of mindful changemakers who believe that personal action can lead to collective liberation for all, regardless of your race, gender, identities, who you love, or the shape of your body.
GaneshSpace is a grassroots community organization dedicated to creating equity through mindfulness education. GaneshSpace leads conversations on equity and inclusion and on mental health and wellness. Their platform centers the voices and experiences of the most marginalized and provides groundbreaking education through the lens of mindfulness and social justice.
GaneshSpace offers a diverse range of healing spaces, educational programs, and resources to help navigate issues around race, gender, sexuality and the body. Their programs are carefully curated, recognizing the nuanced complexity of intersectionality and that everyone experiences power and privilege differently.
You can choose to donate a custom amount right for you — and no matter how much you choose to donate, it will go directly to the GaneshSpace operational fund so they can continue to run and power programs for personal transformation and collective change.
