Okanagan Small Business Stocking Stuffers (2020)
There is so much talent in the Okanagan that this list could go on forever! I asked a bunch of local business babes for their suggestions on gift ideas for stocking stuffers from small businesses, and the response was this diverse list of makers and businesses from all over the Okanagan.
Keep your eyes peeled for PROMO CODES throughout the blog, there are some great opportunities to save!
Happy local shopping!
