The gift-giving holiday season is practically right around the corner! We’ve always promoted shopping local, but this year’s pandemic has led businesses to take a significant hit, so it’s important now more than ever to shop from small businesses in the area. If you’re looking for something special to send to your friends/family, even if you won’t physically be together for the holidays, here are some local shops to consider for gifts!
