Welcome
to the 2025 BOOKISH
BIZ BASH
In an effort to fight against the corporate greed, I've managed to gather together a group of bookish small businesses, all open to promoting a sale of some sort for their products and services that will run from Friday, November 28th through Saturday, December 6th.
Consider shopping small this holiday season for those you care for most. It makes a huge difference in the lives of our small businesses.
On this page, you will find:
- a list of participating businesses and creators
- their business logo
- a business description
- a list of their BBB sales/discounts with hyperlinks
HOW THIS PAGE WORKS
As you peruse the small businesses and sales below, it's important to note how to find all the links you might be looking for during your experience. Each small business has a logo on the left side of their listing. If you click on that logo, it will take you to their website, newsletter, or something similar. And to find their sales, you will click on the underlined words in the description of what they're offering, as the underlined words act as a hyperlink straight to the sales!
