Why I'll Shop Small

This holiday season, I pledge to shop small. Will you be shopping small, too?

By Jennifer Marangos

This year, I’ve made a pledge to shop small for the holidays. Shopping small means buying gifts from local stores or purchasing handmade items.

I intend to shop small because I feel more of a connection with our local communities. I like buying handmade items because it honors and acknowledges the hard work and creativity of local artists.

With Small Business Saturday coming up on Saturday, Nov. 30, I’d love to know where you like to shop small!

What are your favorite go-to shops in our area? What makes them so great?
