Happy Holidays!
1. Glenn Avenue Soap Company
Being part of a small business we also love to support other small businesses; and Glenn Avenue Soap Company is a good one! This soap business started in their Glenn Ave apartment in Grandview Heights with a desire to make natural soap and skin care products that are safe for everyone. This holiday season everything from their lip balms to their body lotions to their bath bombs make great gifts and stocking stuffers. They are mostly known for their Foaming Hand Soaps, which come in a variety of fragrances and can also make a great addition to a gift basket or bag!
2. Magnanni Hughs Slipper
Slippers are a staple when it comes to gift giving for the dads, grandpas, or father figures in your life. This year you can step it up with this slipper from one of our favorite shoe companies in town,
Magnanni. This appears to be a traditional house slipper, but with a closer look you’ll find that it’s made with a deerskin convertible heel that can be worn as both shoe or slide style. It also has a thin leather sole with a bit of traction. It comes in three colors: brown, black and burgundy suede.
