Holiday gift guide - Small businesses features
Find something for everyone on your list this year
It’s time to start shopping for gifts again. This year, the holidays might look a little different - gifts may have to be sent via mail rather than given in person, and family gatherings may go virtual. With foot traffic reduced significantly, the pandemic has not been kind to small brick-and-mortar businesses. This means that many small businesses have had to start selling online. So for our holiday gift guide this year, we wanted to highlight and give some love to some amazing small businesses out there.
Whether you’re online shopping or supporting local, consider supporting small businesses to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list this year.
