This week, we talk about changing the way we view Christmas shopping and how to give better gifts. We want to give gifts that are more valuable but not as costly. We talk about valuing experiences and memories over possessions, supporting small businesses, and enjoying the DIY method of gifting. We also listen to a voicemail from a listener on a long road trip and talk to another listener who started his own leather company. Nate, of Alpine Leather Company ( www.instagram.com/alpineleatherco/), talks to us about the idea of quality over quantity and his rad Kickstarter project: www.kickstarter.com/projects/694275338/alpine-leather-co

We also gave a shoutout to a couple of our listeners small businesses!
