Shopping local... back by popular demand, and caring about each other, and isn't that what the Holidays are about?

Some ideas for shopping local:

Everyone gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from their local hair salon or barber? Maybe a Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Let’s build an annual tradition that strengthens local economies, expands employment, nurtures a sense of community, and provides a more relaxed, fun, and rewarding gift-buying experience.

As customers, we are about to collectively spend a large portion of our annual shopping budget between November and December. If you join us in shifting those dollars to locally owned, independent businesses, we’ll all generate 2-3 times as much economic activity in our community than if we had spent our money at a national chain. Across North America, that could mean billions of dollars of economic impact.
