Gift Guide

look what i found!

The holidays present an important opportunity to us

all, not just to pause and reflect on the season and

time with family, but to give gifts that also give back to

our community. How? By buying local and supporting

small businesses. To make your shopping endeavors

even easier, read on for just a few of the thousands of

fantastic gifts you can scoop up this holiday season

at local shops. Because buying local benefits both the

giver, the receiver and our economy.
