Shop Local: Holiday Gifting Guide

Here’s a question for you: When is it a good time to shop local?

CONSIDER THESE ANSWERS & CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE: • Every day. • All the time. • Right now. • On days that end in Y. • When the sky is blue.

In other words—it’s ALWAYS a great time to shop local. Recent years have reminded us of the importance of supporting our small business community. And moreover, local retailers have engaged their customers in new ways, making it easier than ever to shop small. If holiday shopping convenience is a priority for you – you have local options. Check your favorite stores’ websites and social media accounts. They’ve gotten quite savvy at making shopping fun and convenient!

But don’t just stay online! Go! Visit the store! Local retailers are thankful when you come see them. After all—as great as Amazon is—they aren’t going to ask you about your day…They aren’t going to help you choose the perfect gift for your motherin-law…Amazon isn’t going to ask how she liked it next time you see them… Maybe you aren’t even gift-buying. Perhaps you need a new outfit for an interview or a first date! Amazon isn’t going to ask you how the interview went, nor will they make recommendations about how to accessorize. They definitely won’t direct you to the awesome new hairstylist who can help tame those locks!

Most of all, Amazon isn’t going to light up with a smile when they see you coming! And seriously—isn’t it nice to see someone who is excited to see you?

At the heart of shopping local—you’re investing in the community. YOUR community. You’re supporting your neighbors. And if you shop in our local establishments frequently enough—you’re supporting your friends.

Doing a small thing like shopping local matters. It’s a give and receive situation… They have curated unique products and services…And when we show up and shop with them, we’ve given them the best gift—our support. It’s a circle of giving that makes our community a stronger and better place.

So shop small. Shop local. Support your community.
