The holiday shopping season is in full swing, and shopping is my specialty! The supply chain crisis means we may have little choice but to get off the couch and go shopping the old-fashioned way this holiday season, in-person. Lucky for us, the South Sound offers a multitude of options!

Right here in our very own Proctor neighborhood, we have my personal favorite, Compass Rose: An adorable shop featuring quirky home furnishings, jewelry, books, clothes, and toys from local artisans.

Speaking of local, be sure to check out the Pacific Northwest Shop for specialty foods, souvenirs and gifts from our beautiful corner of America. And who doesn’t need another “Taco Ma” T-shirt? I know I do!

Please don’t even get me started on LAPIS. Their fine jewelry, luxury gifts, clothing and home fashions will not disappoint.

And last but certainly not least, don’t forget a little pampering. Treat yourself and someone you love to the best mani/pedi in the South Sound at La Bella Nail Spa!

These are just a few of the many small businesses you can support, while giving your family and friends one-of-a-kind items. And it’s not too late for Strategy 3° to curate a custom gift for your clients, referral partners, or anyone in your circle. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding our gifting service!
