Holiday Gift Guide 2022: Carrie’s Favorite Things!

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens!

Subarz by Daphne Subar paired with a glass of Spirit Horse wine by Heather Rader…

Gifting my business a video session with Bernadette Marciniak, which will pair perfectly with Amanda Guerassio’s masterclass that will help develop my brand messaging and marketing…

Gift yourself or someone you love with direction for the New Year with a Tarot reading from Nicole Matthiesen. If you know someone struggling to make a decision, seeking harmony or support, spending time with Nicole is a special experience.

Looking for something delicate and beautiful for your “Work Wife”? Look no further than a handmade necklace created by Maile Asenbauer.

I’ve gathered all this and more below (with special discounts for BRA Members) in this list of a few of my Favorite Things, so get comfy and get gifting. And don’t worry, I won’t tell if you’re shopping for yourself.

Happy Shopping!
