Last Minute Gift Ideas from the Unlocking Moves Team!
Move over Oprah - it's time for KURT's Favorite Things!
The holiday shopping season is almost over, which - if you're like me - means you're in a mad scramble to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list!
That's why I put together this last minute shopping guide, featuring some of my favorite products from Unlocking Moves guests, clients of HireBetter and friends of Kurt!
For the Cowboy or Cowgirl on your list: Tecovas
If someone you love is into cowboy boots, they probably want a pair of Tecovas boots. My friend Paul Hedrick created an online brand that did so well he expanded into traditional brick and mortar stores. Everything Tecovas does is designed to create the best possible customer experience...I encourage you to go into a store for a complimentary beer or whiskey while you shop for curated Western Wear!
For the kids on your list: woom Bikes
My friend Mathias Ihlenfeld and his team created an amazing product with woom Bikes - their passion for bike riding and dedication to quality and customer service are even better! Get the kid on your list the best bike on the market, with a company that will grow with them through their Upcycle program!
For the Wine Lover on your list: besa mi vino
Looking for a wine gift that'll set you apart? Forget the bottles and go with besa mi vino's clean, organic canned wine! Or, if you're looking for a great party gift for your White Elephant gift exchange, my friend Victoria Brodsky has created the perfect game: Spin the BESA - The drinking game for adult game night (don't worry... kissing is optional!).
For the "it" girl (or boy) on your list: Poppi Soda
If you've been to a grocery store lately, you can't miss Poppi Soda from my friends Allison Ellsworth and Stephen Ellsworth . The brand is everywhere, and for a great reason. It's healthy and it's freaking delicious! Individual cans would make a great stocking stuffer, but wrapping a few cases under the tree ain't a bad idea, either! [flavor recommendations?]

For the health conscious on your list: Malk Organics
For Jason Bronstad , becoming the CEO of Malk Organics led to a transformation for him, his family, and his entrepreneurial career. Their milk alternatives are made with simple, clean, organic ingredients, and they lack all of the fillers and gums that plague other products. And, unlike most of their competition... they actually taste great! I recommend the Holiday Nog flavor - which would be great Christmas Eve treat!
For the baseball fanatic on your list: Chinook Seeds
If you know someone that love sunflower seeds, you've got to put them on Chinook Sunflower Seeds! They have incredible flavors (Parmesan & Pepper, Jalapeno Ranch, and Cinnamon Toast?!? Come on!). They're also MUCH better for you than the competitors...way less sodium!
For all your holiday shopping needs: Prosperity Market
Need some last minute gifts and you're not sure where to turn? How about my friends Carmen Dianne and Kara Still from Prosperity Market - a mobile farmer's market in Los Angeles that features black farmers, food producers, and chefs while bringing food access to everyone! If you're not in LA... don't worry, they've got an online store that has some truly incredible products in it. Check them out!
Need some cocktail mixers (or just some refreshment?): Waterloo Sparkling Water
My friend Sean Cusack co-founded Waterloo in 2017 and they've been killing it in the sparkling water market ever since. They pack real fruit into their amazing flavors (including some off-the-wall flavors like Orange Vanilla and Pomegranate Acai?!). These waters are delicious on their own... but trust me, they make incredible cocktail mixers too.
