How we spend our money is political. When you are considering the purchase of holiday gifts, why not support the work of a small business run by a Kossack? The benefits are many. You will find quality, your money will circulate in the economy promptly, and your purchase will make a big difference to someone who is creating their own job. It's a win/win!
Below the orange squiggle-doodle, you will find a list of these businesses with links to their stores. The list is alphabetical, first by category (books, jewelry, services, etc.) and within each category by the name of the vendor. This list will be updated throughout the season so please hot list it! This way you are only a couple clicks away from the Kos Katalogue.
In the coming week, you will see diaries by the vendors and satisfied shoppers. We are working on a way to catalogue these diaries, too, so you can get greater detail on what each shop has to offer. Feel free to contact the vendors by Kos Mail or email, as well. They will love to have your business -- and if you act promptly, custom orders might be possible before the holidays!
If you have a small business and would like to be added to Kos Katalogue, please leave a comment below or contact me by Kos Mail. Let's make this a wonderful holiday season. Shop Kos Katalogue!
