It’s beginning to look a lot like…SHOPPING SEASON! Are you ready for our holiday gift guide?
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but this holiday season feels extra special. Maybe it’s because we can travel to our families again, or because Mariah Carey declared “it’s time.” Either way, tis’ the season for spending time with family, and purchasing that perfect gift for loved ones.
Although small businesses might not be able to offer the huge sales big chains do, supporting them has a huge impact. When you buy from local small businesses, 3x more money goes back to the local economy, you’re likely to find something unique and special, and you’re supporting someones dream while getting an awesome product in return.
We’ve rounded up a few of my favorite small businesses that you can support this season! We’ll continue to add and update this holiday gift guide as the season continues.
