Small businesses by and/or supporting neurodiverse individuals:
The Blue Umbrella: I love the concept of this store! It provides “one-of-a-kind, handmade items by [individuals] with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Our mission is to celebrate these individuals who want to work and contribute to their communities while providing them a sense of pride and source of income . . . We also provide employment opportunities and act as a temporary training ground for customer service and retail experience to help transition into longer term supported employment.” Yes, they ship, but if in doubt, please call. The website is amazing!
Preacher’s Pen Coffee*: Coffee and a mission? This site provides coffee, mugs and merch, plus it helps support a preacher of the gospel so he can travel without cost to congregations. Exclusive offer for MoMo634 followers: Use coupon code Momo634 for 8% off of your first order!
Kristina’s Handcrafted Curios: Kristina creates adorable jewelry, wreaths, and as the name suggests, whimsical curios of various kinds. She is generously offering a special 10% off for MoMo634 followers! Use code Merry10 at the link below:
Jeremiah Knight: “A showcase of the sculpting talents of a young man with autism. Each piece is individually handcrafted and, like persons with disabilities, no two are alike.” You can find some of his creations at The Blue Umbrella above, or contact him directly via his Facebook Fan Page:
Gift List with Links (Updated!)*
I created a gift list last year, and have updated it fully*! It has books, essential oils, diffusers, and other items, all at various price points. However, if time is short, I have just the books and oils separated out in abbreviated lists below.
Books*: Books for children, teens, and young adults by and/or featuring neurodiverse people via Amazon*. Here is a curated list with links:
Essential Oils & Diffusers for Mood*: Here is my recent curated list, however, since posting, lavender [click here*] is already on sale for Black Friday!
As discussed in the recent episode Talkin’ ‘Bout My Motivation, it takes a bit of time to produce this podcast, so shopping through my affiliate links helps support this effort. Additionally, if you want to purchase anything through Amazon, not just products I mention on the podcast, you can shop through my affiliate link and help in that way, also!
