2025!

First of all, 2025 is a fake year in the future that is impossible to imagine. I remember when we thought it was crazy we were about to move into a new millennium in 1999. 😊

Now that we have a month under our belts in 2025, it’s rolling along great for us at the Dispatch. I read a previous entry from October that said we were a bit nervous about the holiday season and how much business it would bring. Well, it brought us A LOT of business, and each night I would flop on the couch to watch mindless tv because I was exhausted. Apparently, wrapping hundreds of gifts can do that to a person. (The new gift-wrapping service was hit, especially with the guys. 😀)

We often get asked, “How’s business? We love that you are here, so we hope it is going well.” Right now, we are riding a wave of momentum coming off of Christmas and we had our best month yet (not including Decembers). Many people found us during the holidays and have become regular customers, and our regulars are telling all their friends. Thank you if you are one of those people spreading the gospel of Arden Dispatch. We REALLY appreciate it.

Serena and Chloe went to the Las Vegas Market, a gift show for retailers, last week to look for new gifts for the store, and those items are already starting to arrive. There are new candles, games, bath and body items, and something called a blind box that the Tik Tokkers love. We also have a Glitter Simple Syrup that makes cocktails so fun and pretty- that’s my favorite new item in the store. Have you planned that signature cocktail for Valentine’s Day or the Super Bowl yet?

Come visit over the next few weeks and see all the new stuff we will be getting. Also, follow us on Instagram, @ardendispatch, to see what’s new all year long. Cheers!
