Consider small-business shopping for the Holidays
I realize you can’t purchase everything on your Christmas (or other holiday) list from small-businesses, but you most likely CAN on some items … why not buy someone you love a unique handmade gift this year and help out a person … not a corporation.
Shopping “small” should not only be during the holiday season though, consider it for birthdays and other gift-giving opportunities.
I purchased (for myself) a really nice knit pair of mittens from Designs by Denice. These would make nice gifts for just about anyone on your list. She is a little backed up on orders right now, but if you can knit, she sells the pattern on Ravelry too.
These ones are mine! I just got them in the mail today.
Don’t you just love them?!!
There are many small businesses out there that are local to you too. Consider buying from a crafter, an artist, or a small-business this year.
Happy shopping!
