Our 2024 holiday season felt different after having just been through Hurricane Helene. Community and giving back felt more important than ever, taking priority over sales and the normal Q4 hustle. The love and support that has flowed back to us has been the greatest gift and reminds me that this is what the holidays are truly all about.
We’re especially grateful to CNN and all the media outlets / gift guides that have featured Botanical Bones this season. Their support has amplified our story and mission, reaching pet parents far and wide. A heartfelt thank-you to:
