For the Girl Boss…
The holidays are a chance for Alina Morse, CEO of Zollipops — a candy company that specializes in sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and kosher lollipops — to relax. “Christmas is a great time for [family to] connect,” says the bright 13-year-old Wolverine Lake resident who splits her time between school, extracurricular activities like dance, and running Zollipops, which she founded in 2012. Morse’s wish list includes items that support her entrepreneurial lifestyle by providing ultimate comfort. She counts Lululemon and UGG as two of her favorite brands, and is eyeing the Microsoft Surface Pro 5, a lightweight tablet that’s ideal for her cross-country business trips. For adults shopping for the girl boss in their lives, she suggests taking a moment to connect with their teen. “Get little hints of what color they like,” she says. “Make the gift something that they can really enjoy while working on their next big invention or just doing some schoolwork.”
