Now that Valentine's Day is over, lots of stores are offering their Valentine goodies at a discount. Do you remember very many Valentine's sales in the past? This isn't something I can recall, but today it definitely seems like a thing. Have you run across any post-Valentine's Day sales so far?
Black businesses need to be a priority for our support every day, not just during Black History Month. Find local Black businesses where you live, or businesses to support across the nation, and if you're not paying reparations and are able, look into that as well. (And if you're not able, remember that the work isn't meant to be comfortable, and sometimes we make sacrifices.
Valentine's Day is less than two weeks away! Have you already decided what you'll be purchasing for your sweetie--whether it's a family member, partner, loved one or even yourself? Don't forget to look outside the box this Valentine's Day and treat the person who's always there for you--yourself!
So many companies are offering Valentine's sales, goodies and specials this month that it would be impossible to list them all, but we can share some of our favorites here. Just a few of mine include:
Folks searching for a unique Valentine's gift for their special person or people may want to check out Uncommon Gifts, where you can find all things... uncommon. The online shop has all kinds of gifts perfect for the holiday, especially if you're looking for an activity to do together.
Folks searching for the most unique Valentine's Day gift ever may find what they're seeking at the Bronx Zoo.

Can you believe that so many shops are already advertising their Valentine's Day products? The New Year just got here and we're already seeing hearts everywhere! It's understandable with shipping delays and other possible snafus during Covid, so we may have to just get used to all holidays coming early--not just Christmas.
January is fully here and the New Year's sales all continue to land themselves in inboxes near you! From Bath & Body Works to Yankee Candle, Goose Creek to Candle-lite, there are sales on candles and other smelly-good products just about everywhere right now. The opportunity to make your home smell like peppermints or marshmallows is definitely here for those interested.
Every year it seems like the end-of-year sales after Christmas rival the pre-Christmas sales, if they don't shadow them completely. It's hard to beat 50 to 75% off items that you almost bought--or that you did purchase!--prior to the holidays, and right now it's the time to stock up on everything from drink mixes and coats to bath and body items and candles. It's a good idea to make a note of these sales for yourself each year because it's super easy to forget they're coming during the holiday hustle.
With New Year's Eve so close, I know I'm not going to have time to really go get items like party hats, noisemakers or activities for my family. The beautiful thing about that is that with a printer and some creativity, you can still order plenty of paper crafts to do from home if you need some activities to do with the family, kids you're babysitting or just for fun yourself.
