I love Biggs & Featherbelle. As they describe themselves:
Biggs & Featherbelle is a health conscious company that promotes the healing elements of Mother Nature by creating body care products free from synthetic fragrances, dyes and additives. Quality ingredients and research are infused in every handmade Biggs & Featherbelle product.
I first discovered this company at a local craft fair, and the two women who run it are incredibly friendly and their products are awesome. I'm always buying their gift sets to use as gifts. I'm lucky that they're local, so they show up at a lot of events in the D.C. area.
On Monday, I realized I was short a few gifts for a gift exchange at work. Unfortunately, this week, I'm only working through today. I decided rather than go buy something stupid, I wanted to buy nice Biggs & Featherbelle gifts and if they were late, that was okay. I ordered on Monday, delighted to see that they were offering free shipping. They got the package in the mail that day and because they're so close, it arrived on Tuesday! The gifts arrived in time to be given.
I couldn't be happier and the recipients are in love.
I love being able to support small businesses. There are a lot of great indie crafters out there, and when I find one I love, I give them all the support I can.
