Christmas Shopping – Space2b Social Design
Regardless of what is going on in the world, Christmas is still a coming. October sounds like a good time to start planning and beat the race to the post office where there are delays with shipping and posting to ensure your gift arrives on time.
This year, this is not just about keeping up the Christmas tradition of giving families and loved ones a gift. It's a timely gift to cheer loved ones up, to surprise them with something special that uplifts their spirits, to remind them they are loved with a thoughtful gift that says you took the time and made the effort to show them how loved they are. Everyone needs to hear that message now, more so than any other time.
There is online shopping galore, and
Space2b is such a place where you can
shop online , get beautiful unique gifts, and support newly arrived migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum to become financially independent.
They do have a physical shop/presence at
144 Chapel St, St Kilda and are an innovative social enterprise where their multifaceted approach creates numerous opportunities for new migrants and refugees to work, train and participate. Participants can build on their existing abilities, increase their language skills and work with other designers to enhance their creative and economic independence. Do visit them in-store where you'll see more designers and artists represented.
