Today’s Bakersfield Business Spotlight goes to someone we all know and love… Jasmine Lamb, proud 2012 Bakersfield graduate and the creative mind behind Lamb House Magnets!

Jasmine has officially launched her new custom photo magnet business, and y’all… they’re CUTE. Like grandma-crying happy tears cute.

She handmakes each magnet with care, turning your favorite photos into 2.5x2.5 keepsakes that actually stick around longer than half the men we dated in our twenties.

Perfect for:
• gifts
• grandparents
• stocking stuffers
• business advertising
• slapping your kids’ faces on the fridge so they stop asking “where’s my picture?”

Pricing:
$5 each or 5 for $20 — a deal your wallet and your refrigerator will both appreciate.

Send Jasmine a message to order and support a hometown girl doing something creative and fun.

Lamb House Magnets — Memories That Stick.
Let’s show our Bakersfield grads some love!

✨ Business Spotlight: Gigi’s Country Cups & Gigi’s Place ✨

If your holiday spirit is struggling and your patience is already on backorder, go see Crystal Lamb.

She’s got custom cups that shine brighter than your Christmas lights and loaded teas that could power a small town.

Need a gift? A pick-me-up? A reason not to snap at your in-laws?

Crystal’s got a cup, a tea, or a gift card for every level of holiday chaos.

Swing by Gigi’s Place — let Crystal get you caffeinated, sparkly, and ready to survive December like a champ!

Rumor has it she has a big cup sale going on! 💕

Today’s community spotlight goes to Guffey’s Café, where the food is amazing, the people are kind, and the liars table is somehow still allowed to meet in public.

Pam Guffey and her crew are truly the best — the kind of folks who treat you like family, minus the drama and the group chats you can’t escape. Between the biscuits, the pies, and the guaranteed local gossip-to-coffee ratio, you really can’t go wrong.

If you want an easy Christmas gift that everybody will actually use, grab your people a Guffey’s Café gift card. Support local, keep Pam busy, and maybe even buy yourself a slice of pie while you’re at it. You deserve it. ❤️

For the next 14 days I want to run a spotlight on local businesses and Bakersfield graduates. Please shop these people! Support your neighbors and friends FIRST.

The first person on my spotlight list is someone very near and dear to my heart as this page’s admin. She’s beautiful, talented, and my personal LMT, Brandy Edmonson!!

Brandy with Nomad Collective is a 2009 Bakersfield graduate and one of the best people I know.

Brandy is truly talented and deserves every five-star review. If you know Brandy, you know her nurturing soul was made for healing, holistic work.

Contact Nomad Collective to book a massage with her today, or grab a Christmas gift card for that grouchy, tense family member—you won’t be disappointed.

We love you, Brandy! 💕

The holidays can be a beautiful time, but they can also be heavy for families who are struggling. We want this post to serve as a safe place for our community to lift one another up. 🧑‍🎄🎄⭐️

If you or someone you know needs a little help — a meal, a warm coat, a small gift for a child, or even just a prayer — leave a comment. You don’t have to share details. 🎁 🙏🥘

Let’s show what Bakersfield does best: stand together and take care of our own. 💕

🙌 We were able to deliver 13 full Thanksgiving boxes to 13 different families this year. Each family received a turkey, stuffing, gravy, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, and a dessert. Some boxes varied a little, but every family recieved everything they needed for a holiday meal — all because of the kindness and generosity of our community. 🦃 🥘

We’re hoping to continue this effort for Christmas as well.

Thank you all so much for your support and love for our neighbors!

Please shoot us a message if you know someone needing assistance with food this Christmas 🎅 ❤️

Thank you to each and every person who donated toward our food boxes.
We’ve already delivered several, and we still have more going out in the coming days. Your kindness is making a real difference for local families.

A huge shoutout to AHF for stepping in and helping with this cause — your support means so much.

We are truly grateful to live in a place filled with generous, supportive people. Our community shows up, every single time, and we couldn’t do any of this without you. ❤️

We are so grateful for every single donation toward our Thanksgiving boxes. Because of you, families in our community will have a warm meal this holiday.

We’re now working on our Christmas food boxes, which will include side dishes and turkey or ham. If you know a family who could use a little extra help this season, please reach out to us privately — we want to make sure no one goes without.

We’ll be delivering Thanksgiving boxes in just a few days, and we can’t thank you enough for your continued support and generosity.

Stay tuned — Christmas event announcements are coming soon! 🎄❤️
