A Holiday Treat With Your Name On It

Surprise! We're unwrapping something special just for you.

Why Small Business December (Thanks, Mother Nature)

Let's be real for a hot second. Two years running, we've watched beautiful snowstorms roll through St. Louis right on Small Business Saturday, turning what should be a bustling day of community shopping into a "let's all stay cozy inside" situation. Don't get me wrong, we love a good snow day as much as anyone. But when you've worked hard to prep for a big event trying to celebrate the heartbeat of local commerce— closed roads and icy sidewalks aren't exactly the vibe we're going for.

So this year? We're taking matters into our own hands. Instead of putting all the Small Business Love into a single (snowy) day, we're spreading the love across the entire month. Because supporting small businesses shouldn't depend on perfect weather, it should be as easy and joyful as opening presents on Christmas morning.

What Makes Small Businesses the Real MVPs

Small shops aren't just cute places with charming window displays, though we do love those too. Small businesses are the threads that weave communities together.

Maybe it's the family-owned restaurant where three generations work side by side, or the boutique where the owner hand-picks every single piece because they genuinely believe you'll love it. These businesses employ your neighbors and donate to local charities without making a big show of it. When you shop small, 70 cents of every dollar spent at a small business stays in your town. Your money doesn't disappear into some corporate headquarters across the country, it stays right here, cycling through your community, making it richer and adding all kinds of connections and commerce — like a gift that keeps giving.

Small business owners take risks. They pour their hearts, savings, and dreams into creating something meaningful. They stay open late during holiday shopping, remember your last conversation, and genuinely care whether you find what you're looking for. That level of personal investment? You can't get that from a big box store.

Ready for your Love Launch present in all this?

Here's how our December Small Business Holiday Promo works, and honestly, we're pretty excited about how simple we made it.

Shop at any small local business during December, and we mean ANY. That adorable pottery studio downtown. Your neighborhood bakery. The vintage shop you've been meaning to check out. The local bookstore. Even that new plant shop that just opened up. We're not picky, and we're definitely not limiting this to just our friends (though we love them too).

Once you've made your purchase, here's where the magic happens:

Spend $250 at a small business, get 40% off at Love Launch

Spend $150 at a small business, get 30% off at Love Launch Spend $50 at a small business, get 20% off at Love Launch

Yes, you read that right. We're literally rewarding you for shopping small with other businesses. Because when small businesses thrive together, everyone wins.

How to cash in: (AKA The Easy Part)

For our online shoppers: Just email us a copy of your small business receipt. That's it. We'll send you a promo code faster than you can say "holiday shopping done right."

For our St. Louis locals: Pop by our shop with a copy of your receipt. We'd love to see you in person anyway: and maybe you can try on that piece you've been eyeing while you're here.

The receipts can be from any time in December, so whether you're getting your shopping done early or you're more of a last-minute type (no judgment here), we've got you covered.

Why We're Really Doing This

Sure, we could have just run a regular holiday sale and called it a day. But that felt like missing the point entirely. This promo isn't really about us: it's about starting conversations. And of course, gifting you!

Your Mission: (Should You Choose to Accept It)

This is our little gift to you for being the kind of person who shops with intention. For caring about where your money goes and who it supports. For understanding that the best gifts: whether you're giving or receiving: come with stories attached.

So grab that receipt, and let's make this December one to remember. Because when we all shop small, everyone gets big.
