Shop Small + Give Back
Treat your future self to something really fun by shopping now!
While we never do a traditional pre-holiday sale, we do love an opportunity show our appreciation to our beloved community. Once again, we will be offering a special online shop credit to all online store purchases from today, November 19th until Monday November 29th. The credit is automatic and no codes are needed!
More and more, we are mindful of finding new ways we can encourage social distancing and continue to sustain a small business through a pandemic. Encouraging our community to shop online during a sale rather than to crowd the shop in person means you can shop without a line up and easily order from the comfort of your home, in your pjs and at any hour of the day.
- SPEND $50 ONLINE or more and get a 10% credit ($5 credit or more)
- SPEND $100 ONLINE or more and get a 15% credit ($15 credit or more)
- SPEND $300 ONLINE or more and get a 20% credit ($60 credit or more)
- SPEND $500 ONLINE or more and get a 25% credit ($125 credit or more)
The details : Credits will be issued based on the subtotal of each online purchase during these dates. Credits will be emailed automatically to you seven days after your purchase. Your credit will not expire. If you don't already have an account with a password in our online shop, we recommend setting one up. It's easy to do and your credit (and future credits) will automatically link to it. Otherwise, don't loose the code and email you are sent with your credit. This sale 'does not apply to prior purchases'. Credits are 'automatic' so each online purchase credit will be calculated separately and cannot be combined for a larger subtotal. In store purchases do not qualify for this promotion. You can receive more than one credit over the ten day sale but each one will be based on that individual online sale. Check your list twice before checking out!
We are very fortunate to have your support, so each year we donate 10% of our Shop Small weekend net sales to a chosen charity. True North Aid is dedicated to serving and supporting northern Indigenous communities in Canada through practical humanitarian support. Their mandate is to provide practical humanitarian assistance through initiatives established on eight foundational stones of support. These include self-determination, reconciliation, water, food, health, housing, hope and education. We encourage you to learn more about this organization and the wide range of projects they fund. Thank you for helping us pass some of your support along to True North Aid this weekend.
