Shop Small, Shop Local

Don’t get me wrong, the convenience of amazon is unparalleled.


But we don’t have to rely on Amazon to full-fill every item on our wishlist when Christmas rolls around. Our dollar is our vote - a vote in our local community and the types of businesses we want to see keep their doors open. Here are some unique ideas for gifting this holiday season that support growth, creativity, and dreamers.


Non-Amazon Gift Ideas

  • Tickets  - movies, museum, concert

  • Classes - art, exercise, cooking, etc.

  • Travel - creates new experience, memories, and expands our mind

  • Photoshoot - supports local biz and creates new memories

  • Art! - support a local artist by buying their work, it is an investment in their future

  • Books! - thrifted, paperback, audiobook - you name it, just share ideas.
