Do You own a Business that sells gifts online?

[Liz Fuller]

I am interested in profiling women owned businesses that sell gift items appropriate for the holidays on my blog. Ideally, I'll profile one business every day from the day after Thanksgiving through Christimas Eve.

If you would be interested, please let me know!

Thanks

Liz - you can query the women in the group handmade gifts. Nice idea to help promote other women on the site. Thanks.

[Liz Fuller]

Good idea - I'll do that as well in case they don't see this - although I am open to gift ideas of all kinds - including handmade!

Hey Liz, I think my candles would make excellent gifts. I've been doing a few seasonal candles as well. I have a sugar cookie and a frankincense & myrrh in the making right now.
You can check out my creations at: www.thewildfire.etsy.com

That sounds great! Your candles are beautiful. I'll send you a list of questions for the profile.
Thanks
Liz

Hi Ash,
I had trouble sending you a message, so I am posting the questions here. You can respond to me directly at
[e-mail].

Thanks!
p.s. If you know any other women entrepreneurs who you think might like to be profiled, please forward the info/questions to them as I still have some openings.
