I had people comment on my holiday videos asking for disability-themed wrapping paper, Hispanic & Asian Santas, and interracial couples – so this is my best effort to answer those questions! If you’re looking for Black Santa-themed items or Hanukkah supplies, check out my article.
I’m sharing this today versus our normally-scheduled Friday send to coincide with my video release (watch on IG, TikTok, YouTube, or BlueSky). On Friday, I will be sharing updates on things like merch and my holiday schedule ☺️
Aspen & Arlo: Wrapping paper company with over 10,000 designs.
