Summer Staples: CSAs
We love CSAs. Investing in Community Supported Agriculture is not only a great way to support our local food systems, but is another way of how we can easily access fresh food without having to make a trip into the supermarket.
Here are some of our favorites:
Which PO Box service is right for you?
We love having PO boxes as options for receiving mail. Benefits include privacy protection, a more secure delivery location, and a permanent address for those without one. PO Boxes are also great options for small businesses that operate out of a home.

Virtual Support Spotlight: Make Someone’s Day
We’re all in a bit of shock because of the COVID-19 crisis. There are varying levels of getting used to this new normal.
One thing we can all do is something to make someone’s day. Maybe it’s a phone call or video chat to check in. Maybe it’s starting a written letter or email correspondence with grandparents.
Another idea is having our team send a thoughtful gift to your loved one who is also staying at home. Need some ideas? We have a few:
- Fun crafts for your niece or nephew to do
- A great book your sister will love
- A soup making kit for your mom or dad
- A self-care package to your best friend
We can order or assemble gift packages and send them off for you. On your behalf, our team can order you gift cards from local stores which make great gifts for friends and family to use when all of the restrictions are lifted.
Ask how we can help with you make someone’s day through our Virtual Support Services.

The Secret to Boston Wedding Planning
“When you are in the final hours before you are about to marry the love of your life, the last thing you want to think about is whether the centerpieces are in the right place. We put all of the last minute details in Fini’s hands, and they did beautifully. We got world class service for far less than the cost of a traditional wedding planner. I would highly recommend Fini for any couple doing most of the wedding planning themselves but needing just a little help to get across the finish line stress free.” – Evan from Boston, MA
