5 reasons to #shoplocal this christmas

Christmas during Covid. Started shopping yet?

Although this pandemic is threatening to affect our Christmas preparations, this year's festive experiences may look different with limits on how many people we can spend the big day with and fears that local lockdowns might once again restrict our retail experiences.

With many shops closed, and others limiting customers in big box stores, we can't think of a better time to shop in your local community. We believe that shopping local is always a good idea, and we’ve put together a few reasons why shopping local can be a great idea in 2020.

1. You’re helping fuel your local economy.

2. It feels amazing to support real people in your community.

3. You’ll receive a personalized experience you just can’t get from the big guys.

4. You’ll be giving gifts that are unique, thoughtful, and high quality.

5. Small businesses support other small businesses. Your purchases will help create a ripple effect.

With many shops forced to close and others operating with minimal staff and services, now more than ever is the time to support your local businesses. So, put on your mask and get out there!
