* See the list of the vendors who posted here in the update at the end of the diary text * It’s that time of year when all but the most organized among us are trying to find the perfect gift to finish out their holiday shopping lists. Time’s getting close, with just a little more than a week before Christmas (where did all that time go???). But don’t worry …
Kos Katalogue is here to help!
The USPS shipping deadline for this year is Dec. 20, for both Priority and First Class parcel services. That means you can order something by December 19 (for most vendors) and still get it in time for the big day!
You can find the latest updated mothership diary right here: Kos Katalogue for Guilt-Free Holiday Shopping, Nov-Dec 2018
Kos Katalogue showcases the vast pool of small-business talent we have among our fellow Kossacks. From artisans and crafters, to fine artists, to writers and book publishers, to web developers, consultants, and counselors — and many more — Kos Katalogue lists an amazing array of goods and services. Every purchase supports a Kossack: many of our sellers gain all or a significant portion of their livelihood from these sales. When you shop at Kos Katalogue, you support indie and small businesses, help a Kossack pay the bills and put food on the table, all while bypassing the corporate noise. And, you get to stay out of those crowded malls!
Note: Kos Katalogue is a listing directory, not a selling platform. Links within the sellers’ descriptions will take you to the individual seller’s website or product pages, where you can get more information and make purchases.
How do I join Kos Katalogue?
You can join the Katalogue listings as a seller by sending a Kosmail with your request to Avilyn, who is the Keeper of the updated mothership diary. Be sure to include a brief description of your products/services, and a link to your selling site.
To join the Kos Katalogue group, send a request to Blog Admins Avilyn or jan4insight and mention this diary.
And the result will be …
Happy Kos Kataloguers will be counting up their sales ...
Hopefully we sellers will all make enough to take us through this holiday season and get a good start on the New Year. Ceiling Cat willing! ;)
… and happy Kossack shoppers helping other Kossacks while finding that perfect gift!
Before I close — shoppers are invited to post in the comments, too. Ask questions, post reviews, whatever you want to share from your experience with Kos Katalogue. The more comments, tips, recs, and shares — the more this diary will get seen, and the more it’s the better chance we have for a successful holiday season. So thanks in advance for your help with this!
One last final thing — normally I would turn the final closing over to my cat LuvLee, but in consideration of the other pooties on this page, she has declined in favor of expressing her opinions in the comments. I’m sure she’ll have several to share with us ;)
