The hard-to-buy-for husband, the new mother-in-law, the sister who has everything and the teacher you’re looking to show gratitude towards…it’s time to begin crossing off that list of friends and family with this curated gift guide. Our challenge this year? To exclusively purchase from local businesses in your community, because when you shop local, you move the needle of your local economies and lift up people living out their passions. Local business employ other locals, give back to the community more (250% more than a chain store) and for every $100 you spend locally, roughly $68 stays in the economy, compared to less than $50 when spending at a chain or big box store.
