Stats on Women’s Holiday Spending
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read full disclosure here. Thank you!
Do we really want to know what these stats are? Haha! It’s quite interesting for sure and I thought I would share with you the verdict…
Women who are planning on spending more on Christmas gifts this year will be able to do so without guilt as they have planned and saved properly prior to the season. Excellent news right? Do you fall into this category?
For women who are looking to spend a little less this year on Christmas gifts it is because they are not making as much as they used to. Maybe they took a pay cut or quit their job completely.

Michigan Art Craft Décor Gifts Hats Jewelry & more, Saturday Super Sale began in Novi, Michigan as a means to support the entrepreneurial spirit of people with disabilities in our community.
People with disabilities, handicapped and veterans are often not afforded equal employment opportunities and begin a micro-enterprise business selling hand crafted items including: ceramics, décor, gifts, jewelry, t-shirts and many other products.
There are few affordable locations for these artisans to sell their creations to the community and those are generally provided by disability provider agencies. This limits the goal of having a micro-enterprise provide a valued identity in the community at large. Saturday Super Sale provides an inclusive community setting to showcase the abilities and self-determination of people with disabilities, handicapped and veterans.

Everyone in Michigan is invited to exhibit a micro-enterprise and sell their hand crafted items.
