A few of our favorite things

Bear some gifts without traveling so far

Posted

Why brave the mall, the traffic and the crowds when you can do a big portion your holiday shopping right in your own neighborhood? Even better: local shops often have items that are unique and hard to find in any shopping center.

We’ve taken the bah humbug out of shopping by providing some gift suggestions — all with reasonable price tags. In general, we found that our local retailers’ prices are very competitive.

Best of all: if you buy locally, you’re contributing to the betterment of your neighborhood by supporting small businesses. And there’s nothing Grinch-like about that.
