(so any restaurants within a 90-minute drive of Shawano is ideal) \n\n\n\nWe know a lot of people love to support their local businesses\, but may not know all the services that are provided. Weā€™re working on closing that gap by offering a business directory. If youā€™re interested in becoming part of our business directory\, you can find out more here We are also rolling out a Farm Fresh Directory. \n\n\n\nWe have many affiliate partners where purchases you make with them\, will also help our small business.Ā  (The following links are affiliate links and we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.) \n\n\n\n\nPlant Therapy \n\n\n\nAmazon\n\n\n\nThink Board ā€“ use Code MarieVandenberg to save 20% off site-wide\n\n\n\nTry The WorldĀ ā€“\n\n\n\nReally Good Stuff\n\n\n\nChess. com ā€“ my teenager recently discovered a love of chess.\n\n\n\nHockey Monkey\n\n\n\nSteve Spangler ScienceĀ ā€“ Save up to 60% off with our Clearance SaleĀ \n\n\n\nNaturally Nestled\n\n\n\nmSpy ā€“ what are your kids doing on their phone/tablet that you canā€™t see?\n\n\n\nMud/Wtr ā€“ Save 20% sitewide with this link (first order only) (My Dr suggested trying this when I suffered consequences from drinking too much coffee. I use both the Mud/Wtr latte and Rest to help at bedtime when I canā€™t shut my brain off) Iā€™ve recently added the Hot Cocoa and Nourish.\n\n\n\nZenni Optical ā€“ save $30 when you use my discount link. Iā€™ve been ordering glasses from Zenni for over 15 years. To order from Zenni\, you will need the PD number (pupillary distance). For adults\, the number shouldnā€™t change. It will change for kids. Zenni accepts 1 and 2 number PDs. \n\n\n\nTing Mobile ā€“ get a $25 credit on your first bill when you use this link. Plans start as low as $10/month and you can bring your own phone (or in my case\, I just used an old phone.)

Weā€™ll take suggestions for our first check. (We still have $50 to go before weā€™ll get our first check) \n\n\n\nIf youā€™d like to donate directly to our fundraisers instead of purchasing from our partners.Ā  We can accept cash\,Ā Square\, or Venmo. \n\n\n\nOne of the fundraisers is set up as an open-ended so weā€™ll be able to help several organizations for as long as there is interest in the products. \n\n\n\nThese are a few of my favorite products.Ā  This is my ā€œtoolkitā€ for the Flu Season.Ā  It also has some hints about getting started with essential oils. \n\n\n\nIf you are looking for the fundraising socks that we had available\, we do still have them\, but youā€™ll need to make an appointment. \n\n\n\nThese are a few other ways to support us.

(Trust usā€”been there. We even have some extra rolls weā€™ll never use and are happy to share!) \n\n\n\nAnd then thereā€™s the classic dilemma: kids wanting to wrap presents for their family membersā€¦ with help from the exact person receiving the gift. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø \n\n\n\nSoā€”weā€™re hosting TWO wrapping events! \n\n\n\nšŸŽ Family-Friendly Wrapping Event:Kids welcome! Weā€™ll have helpers on hand to assist with wrapping so little gift-givers can surprise their loved ones without spoiling the fun. \n\n\n\nšŸŽ Adults-Only Wrapping Night (right before Christmas Eve):A kid-free space to finish wrapping in secret without interruptions. If thereā€™s enough interest\, we can add an additional session. \n\n\n\nPlease bring wrapping supplies if you canā€”paper\, tape\, bows\, etc. Weā€™ll have a limited amount available\, along with Christmas music\, tables\, chairs\, and laughter. A cozy space to wrap\, chat\, and actually enjoy the process. \n\n\n\nāœØ Stocking Stuffers & Small Gift Help āœØWeā€™re hoping to offer inexpensive stocking stuffers and small last-minute gifts for those needing ā€œjust one more thing.ā€ Funds are tight\, so if youā€™d like to contribute: \n\n\n\n\nYou can Venmo directly to our sourceā€”just note the specific item(s) and quantity.\n\n\n\nWe also welcome donations of new items.\n\n\n\nCash donations will be used to purchase neutral or teen-appropriate trinkets.\n\n\n\n\nEvery little bit helps us support families who might need that small boost to balance gift-giving or avoid an accidental oversight. \n\n\n\nLetā€™s wrap togetherā€”literallyā€”and bring a little less stress and a lot more joy to the season. šŸŽ„ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScreenshot\n\n\n\n\nIf you prefer a direct link to the Venmo Accounts ā€“ My Supplier for some of the trinkets is:Ā venmo.com/u/kirchner2018 \n\n\n\nMine for Neutral and Teen Purchases:Ā venmo.com/u/meblur7 \n\n\n\nCash is also an option.
