shop local for those you love!
December 15, 2011
Did you know that when you spend money at a local shop over 60% of it stays in the community, shopping at big retail stores and chains about 40% stays here, and if you shop online virtually NO money stays in your local community? Even if we all bought one gift at a local shop this year it would make a difference!
Some of our favorite places to shop locally for unique gifts:
