Why You Should Shop Small This Holiday Season
Time is flying by and we’re already headed into the holiday season.
This year is going to look different with virtual gatherings, smaller get togethers, or even no celebration at all.
However, if you’re going to be giving out gifts, it’s important to start as early as possible. I know you hear that every year but with the new norm of everyone shipping out gifts to loved ones, there’s a high chance of mail delays like we’ve never seen before.
When considering where or how to shop, I’d encourage you to choose small businesses that put the money back into your community or stores that give a percentage of their profits to a good cause. Let’s lift one another up this holiday season!
Below is a big round-up of round-ups that I’ve been collecting for some time now. It’s a great jumping off point to get you started on your holiday shopping or as something you can reference to later in the year when you’re shopping for another reason.
Please be sure to share it with friends or Pin it if you find it valuable! (That’s one way to help me without spending a dime! 🙂)
