We’re finally here, the end of 2020! [Insert what month it is here]
With the holiday’s rolling around the corner, this holiday season will be a little different for everyone. And so, I wanted to put a list together comprised of foodie gift trends, ways to support small businesses, women owned businesses, black women owned businesses, and most importantly a lot of friends on this list.
This list covers a little bit of everything for the food fam out there.
Happy Holidays Y’all! xoxo
