I’ll be blunt. The economy doesn’t have too many folks in a shopping mood. So why make a holiday gift guide? Frankly, I thought maybe I shouldn’t. Hence, I put this off longer than usual. But a few gentle souls nudged me, asking for ideas. So, here ya go. (I promise I’m not bah humbug!)
Small businesses I love:
Waxwing. One of my faves – all the cute things can be found here.
Ascended Gifts. Milwaukee’s premier occult shop with an incredible selection of everything your mystical-loving heart needs.
Totem Flower Essences. The perfect stocking stuffer!
McLaughlin and Hayes Millinery. Hats galore – everyone needs one!
Eye Love Love. Magickal sprays and more.
Wish Beads Jewelry. These manifestation bracelets are always a hit!
Whitmark Co. The BEST smelling candles, bar none.
Boston Tea Room. If you’re in the Detroit area, this is your one-stop ritual shop.
Puck Hcky. Speaking of Detroit, check out this cool clothing shop for the metal heads and hockey lovers in your life.
Parlour of Wonders. Madame Pamita’s spell kits are what we all want under the tree!
Kind Oasis. My fave shop for THC and CBD gummies. The sleep ones do the trick! Also, try the chocolates.
Indulgence Chocolatiers. Try the Grey Salt Caramel. I dare you.
Jay by the Bay. Jay is the strongest massage therapist I’ve ever worked with – he healed my frozen shoulder! He offers gift certificates.
Aum Shanti. If you’re in NY, this is the metaphysical bookshop you need to know.
Evil Pawn Jewelry. I have a few pieces from this shop – adore!

A Few Fantastic Books:

I’m Theresa Reed (aka, The Tarot Lady). I’ve been a full-time tarot reader for 30+ years — which, in my industry, makes me pretty badass.
I’m definitely not your average Tarot expert — I drop the F-bomb, I quote rappers, and I’m obsessed with pop culture. Folks come to me for straight-talk + tough-love — without the woo-woo fluff.
