If you’re hoping to gift experiences instead of things this year and support local entrepreneurs while you’re at it, this list is for you. We’ve gathered a handful of Hannah Grimes Center alumni who offer memorable, meaningful ways to gift experiences that inspire creativity and well-being.
Santaw Photography
Santaw Photography specializes in capturing life’s most meaningful moments, from intimate family portraits to grand life events. Offerings include personalized photography services for every stage of life, including newborns, school-aged children, adults, seniors, and even pets. A gift card gives someone the opportunity to book a professional photo session when the moment feels right.
Brandie Wells Breakthrough Medium
Brandie Wells is an Angelic Healer, Hypnotist, and Psychic Medium who supports clients with readings, hypnosis sessions, energy healing, and more. A gift card offers flexibility to choose the service that fits best.
Quilting Your Legacy
You don’t need to be a perfect quilter to create something meaningful—you just need heart, a little guidance, and a love for stitching stories into fabric. Quilting Your Legacy is here to cheer you on every step of the way. A Table Topper Club Membership is a practical way for someone to build skills through manageable, inspiring projects.
The Yin Lounge
The Yin Lounge offers a range of high-quality products, books, guided meditations, and calming classes. Their offerings blend modern relaxation techniques with timeless wellness practices. A gift card lets your loved one choose exactly what supports their well-being.
These local business owners provide experiences that are useful, personal, and rooted in the Monadnock Region. Supporting them is a meaningful way to support our local entrepreneurial community. Already done all of your holiday shopping? You can support our newest group of program alumni by attending our Fall Business Lab Pitch Event on Tuesday, December 9th without spending a dime!
