SEATTLE — With fewer than 10 shopping days left until Christmas - Made in Washington (MIW) shared several ideas for gifts and specifically stocking stuffers when it comes to supporting local businesses and brands.
Kristin Frossmo, the CEO of MIW, said there are several ways to shop for MIW-supported products.
MIW started as a single storefront at the Pike Place Market, but it has grown to three retail locations and a full online store.
MIW stores are now located in Bellevue and Lynnwood in addition to the Pike Place Market location.
A few ideas for stocking stuffers from local businesses and brands include chocolate from Whimsy, Dilettante truffles, and Seattle Chocolate.
If you're loved ones enjoy personal products - Frossmo recommended lotion minis by handmade La Conner, and for the foodies - San Juan Island Sea Salts in a variety of flavors.
Frossmo said a great gift for toddlers, teens, and adults, includes books, notepads, and journals from Sound & Circle journals, Cheery Pet notepad, and Kate Endle Board books.
Don't forget the pets.
Frossmo said animal-lovers should check out the following brands: Cheery Pet bandanas, Annie’s/Lucky’s salmon, PetCandy cat toys, and handmade La Conner pet products.
