Curate Your Holiday Shopping
curate
late 14c., “spiritual guide,” from M.L. curatus “one responsible for the care (of souls),” from L. curatus, pp. of curare “to take care of.”
Does holiday shopping stress you out? If you make a Darling (aka Trish or Mo) go to the mall you may witness a little tantrum you don’t want to see! In order to avoid that stress why not think of your holiday gift shopping as a curated experience? Skip the mall and get yourself out there to the local markets. We will of course post all that we see Darlings involved in, so be sure to check back here. No matter where you are a quick google search is likely to find one not too far away. Meet the designers, hear their story, share it with your friends and family. Your curated shopping is the care of the soul of the artists you buy from. Now that is magical.
This post was inspired by this Wall Street Journal article: Crafting a More Benevolent Gift List.
But regardless of who’s selling it, people want to buy something authentic, made by an individual with a great idea.
“People are starting to think about ethical consumption,” said Lowery Stokes Sims, a curator at the Museum of Arts and Design at Columbus Circle. “It’s thinking about what you are buying and what impact your dollars are having.”
