Holiday Gift Guide

At Spotlight Business Solutions, we wanted to share some of our "go to" gifts with you for the holiday season and give a shout-out to some of favorite businesses. Many of the gifts are under $100, so they easily fit into most budgets. We hope you enjoy what we have put together. 



1. Help give history a future with this amazing story from Hemlock Films. The Restorers; They Were All Volunteers is just one episode from the new exciting television series about warbird and vintage aircraft restorers and the planes they resurrect from the graves of history. The series is based on and inspired by the Emmy Winning original 2004 film, The Restorers (which can also be purchased on their site). 

The story of the Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing's B-25 Bomber and their amazing journey to 65th Doolittle Raider's Reunion can be purchased by clicking here

2. Give the gift of creativity with a gift certificate from Promising Palette for one of their stellar painting classes! 

Whether you have never put a brush to canvas or are a skilled painter, these classes are fun, educational and a great way to spend time with the special people in your life. Promising Palette provides the paint, canvas, and inspiration for you to take home a unique painting to be proud of! Enjoy an evening with a friend by getting two seats or purchase one as a stocking stuffer for your favorite artist! Check out the calendar of events for more information.




3.  Who could resist something sparkly for the holidays, especially when that purchase helps give something back? That's why we love Cayetano Legacy Collection and all they stand for. The three Cayetano sisters are first generation Filipino Americans and wanted to bring worldwide attention to the beauty of the Philippine Islands with their creative and innovative jewelry designs.  

Their jewelry doesn't only sparkle, it's a statement piece like no other. Cayetano Legacy Collection also actively supports Filipino programs to train its citizens to source and manufacture all of their products. Their amazing work has created jobs and economic growth! 




4. Give the gift of flight and a unique look into the past with a gift certificate from the
Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing for a ride in one of their authentic WWII aircraft! They offer experiences in a variety of aircraft from a PT-22 Trainer to a B-25 Bomber. Prices range starting from a very reasonable $95. 


All flights include a pre-flight briefing with one of their experienced pilots, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions about the aircraft and its history.

 All flights are conducted in the spring, summer and fall, but they can be booked at any time and make a great gift. 






5. The holiday season can be really hard on us all between the stress of getting everything done, over eating, winter colds, the weather, and who knows what else.  Its hard enough to eat healthy the rest of the year, but it's virtually impossible during the holidays. 

Why not make it easy on yourself or for someone you know with a gift of food from Bonicelli Fresh Meal Delivery.  There are several plans to choose from to fit anyones needs, especially this time of year. 

No time to cook? No problem. With the "Friend in Need" or any of the meal delivery options from Bonicelli Fresh Meal delivery, it's all taken care of. Chef Laura Bonicelli and her team cook fresh meals with local ingredients and deliver them right to your door. Heck, even if it's a gift for you- you deserve it for working so hard putting together all those fabulous gifts!
