Tash Haynes Showcases Local Gifts Ideas from BIPOC Makers
The holidays are here and there’s still time to get something special for everyone on your list. Tacoma influencer Tash Haynes recently teamed up with King 5 and Made in Washington to highlight a special range of local gifts from BIPOC makers. The range included coffee sets, fine jewelry, aromatic candles, and infused tea, all available locally.
Here’s a round-up of the holiday gifts featured by Tash on King 5 Weekend Morning News:
For those on your list who love coffee, the Campfire Coffee Gift Set features three 12oz. bags of whole bean coffee by Campfire Coffee including Mountain Top Espresso Blend, Summer Camp Mexico Chiapas, and Starry Night Ethiopia Yirgacheffe.
Based in Tacoma, Campfire Coffee was started by husband & wife Quincy and Whitni Henry during the heart of the pandemic and is America’s only open flame/wood fire coffee roaster.
Clean-burning candles from Seattle-based Noir Lux Candle Co. are a great gift pick for anyone on your list. From BFF to holiday party host, these candles smell great and have fun names like You Sleigh, Festive AF, and Holly Berry. Noir Lux Candle Co., founded by Colina Bruce, hand-pours each candle in small batches and uses wooden wicks, which are slow-burning and more eco-friendly.
During the cold winter months, there’s nothing like a soothing cup of tea. Capuli Club Teas, based in Redmond, has a beautiful pot & stove set that features a glass brew pot, bamboo stove warmer, tea candle, and 3 Capuli Velvet Hibiscus Single Packs. Pour an entire pack in a cup or in a pot, add boiling water, cover, and let steep for at least 10 minutes to enjoy a whole new world of flavor.
Seattle-based fine jeweler Valerie Madison handcrafts delicate necklaces featuring a variety of gemstones that make a beautiful holiday gift. The Blue Topaz (pictured here) is available with or without a chain.
Her minimalist and elegant pieces are timeless and crafted to perfection.
When you shop locally for holiday gifts, the money you spend goes back into the community to create jobs, support families, and keep local makers in business.
Thank you for making your holiday shopping count to support BIPOC makers in Seattle!
