As salaamu alaikum and hello everyone!

And just like that, we've reached the last month of 2022. Cue the jokes about how can it be almost 2023? I'm still stuck in 2020! Whether you are ready for it or not, time marches on, and this year is coming to a close. In a year that was racked by inflation and shrinkflation, a year in which many businesses shuttered and people continued to reassess the priorities of their lives in this post (ish)-COVID landscape, we are so thankful to Allah (S) to be here, doing this work, serving you.

And it is in that spirit that we are designating December as HH Fam Appreciation Month, better known as Customer Appreciation Month!

As a token of appreciation for you, our #HHFam, we are dropping new surprises every single week (yes, every week!) throughout December! We have an exciting array of gifts, surprises and content planned to honor you – the HH woman. From loyalty points to prizes to VIP awards to stories on our blog highlighting various HH community members, we are excited to have you to join the party!

Make sure you’re subscribed to our Community Rewards Program (you can do so here if you’re not) to participate in the lovefest, and follow us on social media to make the most of all the special gifts and surprises coming your way. Click here to learn more!

Also, in HH fashion, we're bringing you a host of year-end roundups as we look back at 2022. We're bringing you the roundup of news and events as it pertains to Muslim women, the top moments in modest and hijab fashion and the du'as and Quran ayats that got us – the HH team – through 2022.

And, you may be wondering about our annual #LikeYouMeanItHH focus, where we reflect and talk about centering our intentions and why we wear hijab. This campaign has occurred in December the past three years, but this year we're shifting it to January to help us all be in a good place as the new year begins.

A huge part of our brand ethos is customer service – that is, all our work lives to serve you with utmost ihsaan (strived perfection). We hope you feel the love in December from all of us at Haute Hijab! Be sure to tune into the blog and our social media channels for all the fun things coming this Customer Appreciation Month.

What a year it's been, Alhamdulillah. May the coming year be even better, Insha'Allah. May we be content with whatever blessings Allah (S) bestows upon us and content with whatever He protects us from. As always, make good choices and always start with Bismillah!

Editorially yours,

Dilshad
