The holiday season is here, believe it or not. And this year, Heels Down wants to turn holiday shopping on its head. Instead of chasing deals, we want to inspire our community of equestrians to do good for the world – and their families – by supporting local businesses and artists.
That may mean having to forgo the easy-click shopping on Amazon or other major retailers. But you can feel good knowing your gifts this year aren’t stuck on a cargo freight traveling across the world to get to you, but are instead made right here in North America. Buying local isn’t only good for the little guys, it’s better for the world. Less packaging, less of a shipping journey and less mass manufacturing is something we can all support to help make the world a more sustainable place.
It isn’t always easy to track down where products are made or ship from. But there are plenty of small businesses who pride themselves on making their homemade goods locally, or by supporting other local businesses in their communities by partnering with them to manufacture and ship.
This year, Heels Down is collaborating with some of our favorite brands who go above and beyond in this way.
For one week, from Nov. 22-26, we’ll showcase sustainable holiday gift ideas for all horse lovers that are produced ethically and sustainably in North America in the Heels Down Spark. Sign up now so you don’t miss out.
