Looking for something that’s uniquely Seattle to gift this holiday season? These local shops likely have just what you’re looking for. Many small businesses rely on the holiday season to keep their doors open for the coming year, and especially in these unprecedented times, it’s crucial that we support them where we can.
Elm Candle Bar
If you’re looking to gift something that will not only warm up a home, but provide an activity for those who are spending more time there, then Elm Candle Bar has the fix for you! Not only do they specialize in soy candles with customizable scents, but they also offer an at-home candle making kit! This is an especially good gift for someone who has just moved into a new space, as over 8.9 million Americans have this year alone. Gives it that perfect personal touch!
