My last post was all about my favorite small business shops and I am continuing on with 5 more new businesses and vendors that carry multiple local products and stores, starting with Old Town La Quinta.
This gorgeous shopping center offers you all small business brands locals are obsessed with. From Old Town Coffee Company, to Stuft Pizza, Tarah Jade, and La Quinta Brewery, to Solano’s Bistro and Gather La Quinta for yoga and pilates, this place has it ALL!! You have to see them right off Calle Tampico near the Artisan Studios. Seriously, look at this list of amazing places already! We are so blessed to live here in Paradise where the American dream is strong and thriving each day.
Desert Nest Co. Apparel and goods in Yucca Valley–This quaint store sells adorable clothes and local influenced tees, fun gifts, and more. Check out their Instagram feed and shop to see how special their shop truly is. They have cute gifts, funny gifts, local inspired tees, handmade creations, and more.
Moonwind Trading Co. also in Yucca Valley sells very chic and hip clothes you will fall for and the most beautiful handmade soaps with florals and oils from Natural Aphrodeedee. They’re so gorgeous, you almost don’t want to use them. Visit their Instagram to shop and see what types of cute goods they offer.
The street fairs in the desert, which includes VillageFest in downtown Palm Springs every Thursday night, are fantastic for shopping as well as home decor. What I love about these open air walk-and-shop events is the amount of local creatives showcasing their unique and wonderful creations. The COD Street Fair in Palm Desert on weekend mornings and VillageFest allow the public to directly support talented creatives right here in the Coachella Valley. This is continuing money that will stay within the community and support our other local businesses as well. If you’re looking for absolute one of a kind gifts for your loved ones, shop these vendor marketplaces each week!
And last but never least, is my friend’s business Botanical Verbiage. This beautiful and themed company is all about love languages and dried floral arrangements specialized with add ons fused with essential oils, cinnamon and holiday natural scents like cinnamon, unique wreaths, fresh Poinsettias delivery, and spectacular packaging. Your gift arrives with a sweet card and stunning, long lasting arrangement of color, decor, and natural scents for the home. Each item has a spiritual and personal meaning and combined have deep connection and purpose to those you send to, following all of the many love languages for all occasions.
