• Love Thyself (self-care! coziness! treat yrself!)

• Love Everyone (a gender neutral box for folks looking to steer away from items associated with Valentine's Day)

• Love Fashion (all things wearable for the fashion forward!)

• Add-on options (add to cart separately): Heart-Shaped Fried Pies (pick up only), Custom Love Song by The Song Garage, Oglewood Ave airplant in resin holder

The Good Sport Box was created in March 2020 as The Central Collective’s way to stay connected with our community, support local makers, and help sustain ourselves in a time when owning a community event venue is especially challenging. Sending out hundreds of these boxes lifted our spirits (and gave us something to focus on as we waited to see what the future held). We’re so grateful for the support and positive feedback we received and are thrilled to add more artists and makers to our list of contributors for our February box.

Pick Up February 13, 11a-2pm at The Central Collective (923 N Central Street).*
