It’s the most wonderful time of the year! If you follow our social media blog, you know that each winter, we highlight our favorite things as a special gift to our readers. Whether it’s our favorite Instagram accounts to follow, or our favorite digital marketing tips and freebies, we love to share what we love most! In that same tradition, we are shining a string of twinkle lights on a few of our favorite local businesses to help with your holiday shopping this year!
Olive Lucy
The motto at this amazing shop in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania is “add a little flavor to life.” Olive Lucy is home to freshly pressed 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oils from around the world, and Aged Dark and White Balsamic Vinegars, including a wide variety of unique, infused flavors. Each is bottled, corked, and sealed in the store daily. There is also a delicious assortment of gourmet food items, such as dried pastas, herbal teas, tapenades, spreads, and specialty seasonings.
If you need to fill a gift basket this holiday season, be sure to stop by and ask the friendly and knowledgeable staff for recommendations! Olive Lucy also offers quick and easy online ordering 24/7. Visit olive-lucy.com for more information and to shop now. Like Aliya Hammond Consulting, Olive-Lucy is a member of the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners).
Zana Cakes
You may remember Zana Cakes from our blog titled, “A Sweet Recipe for Social Media Success.” Last year, we developed an eye-catching (and mouth-watering) website to showcase and sell the delectable desserts offered by this incredible mail-order bakery. Zana Cakes make the perfect homemade gift for friends, family, corporate clients, and co-workers, with scrumptious, seasonal flavors like Eggnog Rum Splash, Sour Cream Cocoa, Brandy Carrot Cake, and the Signature Streusel, to name a few. There’s even a Zana Cakes Sampler and Cake of the Month Club!
If you’re hosting a fun and festive holiday party and are in need of desserts, Zana Cakes also provides event catering. For more information, including a fantastic video with owner Zana Billue, and to browse the tasty assortment of pound cakes, visit zanacakes.com. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Zana Cakes is a Minority Business Enterprise and certified member of EMSDC and NMSDC, so we certainly have a lot in common!
