Small Business Saturday 2024

Small businesses to support: HNW Luxury / Tiff’s Jeweldom / Compass Rose Design / Spirit Sox /

Happy Small Business Saturday! Today I want to highlight four businesses from the San Francisco Bay Area which are also women owned. All four also happen to make products which can be fabulous gifts for the holiday season. Love that!

The United States is powered by small businesses. Without them, we wouldn’t have the thriving commerce we enjoy. So, without further ado, make sure you support small businesses, and let’s talk about my favorite four!

HNW Luxury is a fun shop owned by a fabulous female and mom in the Santa Cruz area. She makes lighthearted tee’s we can wear everyday. They make great additions to our wardrobes as well as gifts this holiday season. Plus, they are under $50. Love that! You can check out her shop at Etsy.com.

Tiff’s Jeweldom is a Mother/Daughter designing duo based in Silicon Valley. They make beautiful and affordable gemstone bracelets you can stack with each other, or with other bracelets; you can also wear them alone. Most of their bracelets are under $100, with some under $50. You can find them on Etsy.com.

Compass Rose Design is a fabulous jeweler who creates her pieces using vintage parts and inspiration. Based in the Bay Area, this amazing designer creates unique jewelry with a story you won’t find elsewhere. I own a few of her pieces and I have given them as gifts too. You can find her at CompassRoseDesign.com.

Spirit Sox is a company owned by an amazing woman in Silicon Valley. She started her company as a fundraising idea, and it blossomed into a large-scale business which gives back to the community. You can find Spirit Sox at Sam’s Club! LOVE! These are comfortable, high-quality socks you will instantly become addicted to. They make the perfect stocking stuffer! Check them out at SpiritSoxUSA.com.

Well, there you have it. Four fabulous, women owned, small businesses which are located in the Bay Area and Santa Cruz County. Please support small businesses!

Have a fabulous holiday weekend!

Spirit Sox USA fundraiser review

kids sports fundraising ideas sports team fundraising ideaseasy sports fundraiser

One-two-three-four! I can hear the crowd roar! Picture this: you are playing your favorite sport, and your team just won. Everyone in the audience is cheering for you and your team. While all eyes are on you, what are you wearing? Sure your team uniform is on point, but what socks are you wearing? They aren’t that old pair of gym socks, the pair with the hole and yellow tinge, from the back of your drawer you thought no-one would notice if you wore? Oh no, they are? Well, there is a fabulous way to fix this “sock problem” so that it never happens again!

There is a hot new company on the sport socks scene, and they are based right here in Silicon Valley. In the true spirit of entrepreneurship, Spirit Sox USA has taken sport socks to the next level. Instead of basic socks which match a sports team uniform, these socks offer a sport or team specific logo; and that isn’t even the best part. These socks can raise money for your team! Yup, you heard that right! Spirit Sox USA is a fabulous way to raise money for your sports team while looking like the true champions your team is filled with. Now, listen to that crowd roar!

Spirit Sox USA makes fundraising really easy. You can pick out a pair of socks in your teams colors, then add your logo; and when you sell them, your team reaps the benefit! In addition to raising money for your team or your school, Spirit Sox USA gives back 5% of it’s profits to schools in under-served areas. How fabulous is that!

I am really excited about this company; and thrilled to be the one to introduce it to you! The founder is someone I have know for many years and she is active in the community; as well as being an amazing person. Her company is all about giving back to the community; which makes it the ideal go-to place for team socks, and team fundraising. Love!

There are so many great ways to raise money with team socks from Spirit Sox USA. For example, during football season, the team always needs at least two pairs of sock for their uniform. My son plays Pop Warner, and they will need these socks for their regular uniform. In addition to their normal uniform socks, they will need a pink pair for October when football works hard to raise awareness and support for breast cancer research. The cheer team needs these socks too!

Team socks are great for both adult teams and kids teams. Teams can raise hundreds or even thousands of dollars for their team or school depending upon how many socks they sell. It is an amazing way to fundraise!

If you are on a team, or you have children on a team, or you are looking for a way to raise money for your school, check out Spirit Sox USA. I highly recommend them! You can learn more about Spirit Sox USA online at SpiritSoxUSA.com.

I can’t wait to get my son’s socks for football season! Which team or school do you plan to fundraise for?
