Happy New Year! Giving Back for 2025

Happy 2026! Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, and successful new year!

A tradition I started back in 2016 was to donate a percentage of profits from Birch Landing Home to charity at year end, and it’s a tradition I’ve been proud to continue every year since.

2025 had been a challenging year for a lot of small businesses, including mine. Many of my remaining wholesale accounts have been cutting back how often they reorder, regular sales on Etsy have been slow, and affiliate sales/ad revenue on the blog are down (thanks AI). Inflation and spending habits have impacted everyone.

Nevertheless today I made a small donation to continue the tradition. I think it’s important to give back when you can and I want to make sure this tradition continues. This year’s donation goes to Lake Winnipesaukee Alliance, to help protect our local lake for generations to come. Thank you all for the continued support of my little business - wishing everyone lots of health, happiness, peace, and love in the New Year!

Happy Giving Tuesday!

A tradition I started back in 2016 was to donate a percentage of profits from Birch Landing Home to charity at year end, and it’s a tradition I’ve been proud to continue every year since.

2024 has been a challenging year for a lot of small businesses, including mine. This year I had 4 brick and mortar shops I wholesale to close their doors, many of my remaining wholesale accounts have been cutting back how often they reorder, regular sales on Etsy have been slow, and affiliate sales/ad revenue on the blog are down. Inflation and spending habits have impacted everyone.

Nevertheless I am still planning on making a donation at year-end even if it’s small. I think it’s important to give back when you can and I want to make sure this tradition continues. If you have a suggestion of a charity or non-profit to consider please let me know! And thank you all again for your continued support - even just views, clicks, and likes on social media and my blog or Etsy go a very long way to supporting my business and don’t cost anything. Thank you!

Who We Donated to This Year

A tradition I started seven years ago was to donate a percentage of profits from Birch Landing Home at year-end to Charity.  This year we were able to help support The Lustgarten Foundation - I chose to support this charity because Pancreatic Cancer has one of the lowest long-term survival rates and hopefully progress will be made soon towards better treatments and a cure.

Thank you so much for all your support this past year - I am thankful for my Wholesale Accounts and continued traffic on my blog to make these donations happen.  I hope to continue to grow Birch Landing Home and be able to give back more each year in return.  Thank you all!

Who We Donated to This Year

A tradition I started six years ago was to donate a percentage of profits from Birch Landing Home at year-end to Charity.  This year we were able to help support The New Hampshire Food Bank - I chose to support this charity because food insecurity has become an issue for many more families this year due to inflation and rising costs.

Thank you so much for all your support this past year, it has definitely been a different year with me returning to work while still trying to balance Birch Landing Home. Nevertheless, I am thankful for my Wholesale Accounts and continued traffic on my blog to make these donations happen.  I hope to continue to grow Birch Landing Home and be able to give back more each year in return.  Thank you all!

Giving Back - Who We Donated to This Year

A tradition I started five years ago was to donate a percentage of profits from Birch Landing Home at year-end to Charity.  This year we were able to help support The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America as well as The Nature Conservancy. I chose to support The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation in memory of my Dad, who passed away this past spring due to complications of MG. We miss him greatly, and hope in the future families will not have to deal with this debilitating disorder. I chose The Nature Conservancy because protecting our natural resources and reducing climate change is more important now than ever.

Thank you so much for all your support during another strange year. I hope to continue to grow Birch Landing Home and be able to give back more each year in return. Thank you all!

Giving Tuesday 2021

Giving Back - Who We Donated To This Year

A tradition I started four years ago was to donate a percentage of profits from Birch Landing Home at year-end to Charity.  I’m so happy to say that this year we were able to help support Gather NH as well as The Nature Conservancy. I chose to support Gather NH because food insecurity has become an issue for many more families this year due to the economical impact of the pandemic. I chose The Nature Conservancy because turning to nature and time outside has become such a saving grace for many during this time and it’s more important than ever to protect our natural resources.

Thank you so much for all your support this past year, it has definitely been a strange year for Birch Landing Home too with less Etsy sales (due to me temporarily pausing my Etsy storefront) and less partnerships and projects on the blog. Nevertheless, I am thankful for my Wholesale Accounts and continued traffic on my blog to make these donations happen. I hope to continue to grow Birch Landing Home and be able to give back more each year in return. Thank you all!
