2020 Holiday Gift Guide

11/2/2020

 
Picture
This year, I am thinking about gifting earlier than usual. Due to social distancing measures, the threat of rising cases of coronavirus, slower-than-usual mail, and a busy November, I don't particularly want to find myself at a crowded mall a couple days before Christmas.  I also knew that I really wanted to highlight local small businesses. Check out some of these shops and start checking those gifts off your list! ​
