Denton Trading Company
If you have been to any of my events this year, you already know about Denton Trading Company. Located in the heart of Denton at the Denton Square by West Oak Coffee Bar, you’re sure to find exactly what you need this holiday! These ladies know a thing or two when it comes to the perfect stocking stuffer! From candles, to games, to #GirlBoss moments, they have the perfect gift for everyone! For me, my husband and I love their fun unique card games they have in stock. My personal favorite though has to be their adorable mugs! Seriously, DTC has some of the best stocking stuffers that you won’t find anywhere else! Things on my wishlist from DTC are the date night dice, the cat mug, and the #GirlBoss socks!

This holiday season, buy from a local.
One thing I will always do every season, is support local businesses. For many, the products they sell and revenue they generate is what they need to make ends meet until next Christmas. This season, instead of driving to the mall to fight the crowds, the parking lots, the endless “Try this sample!”. Head downtown, grab a coffee, and shop in Denton’s beautiful historic district! Where everyone is helpful and really embodies the true meaning of Christmas. This year, when you open your local gifted goodies on Christmas morning, or Eve if you’re my family! Be sure to tag the business you snagged your finds from! It’ll be like opening hundreds of presents in their DM’s all day on Christmas!
