It’s time for our 2nd Annual 12 Days of Giving! Last year, we donated approximately $5,000 across 12 local nonprofits and we are hoping to exceed that this year!
What Are The 12 Days of Giving?
From November 29th-December 4th and December 6th-11th (Sunday-Friday), we’ll donate 5% of daily in-store and online sales to a featured local nonprofit each day. We will highlight each nonprofit on our social media at the beginning of each week to share the wonderful work they do for our community.
This is your chance to shop small and give big, all while checking off your holiday shopping!
Below is the 12 Days of Giving Event schedule, along with information about them.
Why Shopping Small Matters
When you choose to shop small this holiday season, you’re doing so much more than crossing items off your list. You’re:
- Supporting local makers and artists
- Helping your neighbors stay employed
- Keeping small businesses thriving
- Investing directly in your community
Every purchase made at a small, local business truly makes a difference.
We’re incredibly grateful for the love and support you continue to show us and all the other small businesses that make our city special. We couldn’t do it without you!
Love,
The DECO Fam

This supports both the people who view the art, and the artists who create it.
