Local Lift: Mailliard’s Landing Nursery, Sugar Studio, & Harbor Sushi GIVEAWAY
Welcome to another Local Lift giveaway! This week features 3 very different types of small businesses, but each one is located in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island.
If you’re new to my Local Lift feature, I’m glad you stopped by! I started this reoccurring “small business boost” feature at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to support the local Whidbey Island economy. With each Local Lift, I purchase gift certificates to small businesses here on Whidbey Island and give them away to the community while spotlighting each business in the process. Thank you for stopping by to check out these amazing small businesses, and thank you for shopping local when possible!
This week’s giveaway includes:
Two $65 gift certificates to Mailliard’s Landing Nursery
Two $65 gift certificates to Sugar Studio
Two $65 gift certificates to Harbor Sushi
Winners will be drawn at random. To enter, head on over to this Facebook post and follow the instructions. (All you have to do is leave a comment on the linked Facebook post to enter!) Deadline for giveaway entries is 5pm PST on Thursday, February 10.
Mailliard’s Landing Nursery
Mailliard’s Landing Nursery is located in Oak Harbor, and if you’re looking for anything yard or garden related, Mailliard’s is your go-to spot on Whidbey Island! This popular, award-winning local business has been around for over 35 years, and if you’ve never been, it is worth stopping by. While you can certainly go to pick up something specific you’re looking for on your shopping list, browsing is just as fun—visiting Maillard’s is a whole experience unto itself. You’ll find 100s of indoor and outdoor plants to choose from, different soil blends, bark, mulch, lawn care, fertilizers, rocks ready for almost any landscaping project, fire pits, pond supplies, tools, seasonal offerings (like Christmas trees!), and so, so much more.
Mailliard’s Landing Nursery has an excellent website, and you can browse their 100s of products ahead of time to get a sense of what they offer. You can also follow Mailliard’s on Facebook and Instagram for updates on sales, new products, and more.
Sugar Studio
Sugar Studio in Oak Harbor’s motto is “Exceptional service. Fabulous treatments. Professional staff.” This “one stop shop” studio does it all! Body hair removal, facial waxing, facials, massages, body wraps and scrubs, eyelash and brow tints, lash lifts, airbrush tanning, and much, MUCH more are all on the “menu” of services that Sugar Studio offers.
If you’re new to the concept of sugaring, Sugar Studio has a handy “Sugaring 101” guide on their website. In short, sugaring is a hair extraction technique, but the 101 guide does a great job of explaining exactly how it works and its benefits.
To learn more about Sugar Studio, head to their website, which has tons of helpful information about their services, “Sugar Squad,” and more. There’s also an easy way to buy gift cards on their website in case you’re searching for the perfect gift for that someone who “has everything”! You can also follow Sugar Studio on Facebook and Instagram for updates on specials, services, and products.
Harbor Sushi
Located at 32955 WA-20 Oak Harbor, WA 98277, Harbor Sushi is a popular Whidbey Island restaurant that features an extensive menu of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine. While it’s called “Harbor Sushi,” there is much, much more than just sushi on the menu here—in addition to classic sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi, you’ll also find several Korean dishes, bento boxes, udon, ramen, Chinese Wok specials, Teriyaki combos, and more all on the menu. Harbor Sushi is especially great if you’ve got a group of people to please—there’s sure to be something on the menu to make everyone happy! Also, people reviewing Harbor Sushi on Yelp love the large portions, the great service, the clean environment, and how great the takeout experience is!
