So excited to see new faces and read all about your businesses 🎉!

As we are gearing up to the holiday season, we are once again curating a Community Gift Guide. It's an initiative we started last year and we got an incredible response, so we want to keep the tradition going. 

Please share an item or service you are excited to offer for this holiday season in this thread. If you are selling online, don't forget to share a link in your reply too! I can't wait to see what everyone is doing.

Greetings! 

I've been buzzing around the seller community for a while but haven't officially introduced mysellf 😁

My name is Andrea and I'm a salon owner and real estate investor in Boston, Ma. I've had my salon for a little over 12 years and have been a square user for over 13 years. We offer a full service salon and an online beauty retail store that offers all delivery features to customers. We recently opened a second location in Canton, Ma and we are thrilled to start expanding our salon! I've added some feature request that I hope to see added to Square Go and other appointment features! Happy to be apart of the seller community. Stylist and Salon owners, feel free to ask me anything. Happy to help if I can!

Hello All!

I'm Tim and I recently started a remote Wholesale Custom Apparel Company. As a one-man operation I would love to network with other business owners. I have partnered with two major manufacturers, which allows me to offer the highest quality products, and my extremely low overhead allows more than competitive pricing. Excited to grow and expand alongside my new Square friends and family!

Hi! I'm Angela, owner and operator of Wind River Farm in Falun, Kansas. I have a herd of Lamancha dairy goats, and I make the best goat milk soap, goat milk gelato, and goat milk fudge you have ever had, along with lots of other goat milk goodies. 

I sell the soap (and other goat milk bath & body products) and the fudge at farmer's markets, but by Kansas law I can only sell my gelato and goat cheese on the farm, because we are not yet a grade A dairy. We're only about 15 minutes outside of town, but it's super difficult to get people to come out to the country to buy their milk, cheese, and ice cream. SO, I am now in my third year of hosting Goat Yoga! It has been a big hit, and on yoga days I set up my market booth on the farm, and I make a lot more dairy sales that way.

This year I am also holding my first "Dairy Fest." It's mainly to showcase the goat milk and goat milk products. People can taste my products, and then buy what they like. Some products I will give the recipes for as well, so people can buy goat milk and take it home to make something themselves. But to make Dairy Fest a big hit we are also having live music, demonstrations, a craft market, pony rides, petting zoo, milk a goat, a food court, and lots of other stuff. I'm super stoked for that.  

I am developing my Square website as an information and booking hub for my farm. All my products are listed there and I do ship, so the site is set up for e-commerce, thought that is not my primary focus.  I really like Square and use some of the hardware, too, and I'm hoping to get the developers to add a few features that will really benefit my local sales.

I don't have much time, as I'm sure you can guess, for anything except the farm, which I dearly love. But outside of work I enjoy riding and showing horses, and giving riding lessons, which is also work but a hobby, too. 

You can check out Wind River Farm at windriverfarmks.com , or on Facebook & Instagram @windriverfarm

@JARSPrice glad to have you in the Community! Congrats on launching Dairy Fest too 🙂
