CHEAP THRILLS DECEMBER

Here at Yohomo Laboratories and Closet Storage Solutions we are VERY concerned about your dopamine levels. It’s crucial that you maintain a healthy state of mind during the dreary winter months. We’re also aware that things can get even MORE expensive this time of year. So, we’ve assembled a guide to the more affordable things that you can do this December. More than that, we challenge you to pop a vitamin D and do at least one thing from this guide... What will you win? Dopamine! Who’s going to give it to you? Your brain will give it to you! Who gets the credit? We do.

This blog post, our second ever affordable guide, covers December 2024. As always, if we’re missing something, please feel free to email us about it at events@yohomo.ca. We'll be adding events as the festive month rolls on, so check back weekly.
