As the holidays approach we have the opportunity to reverse a trend, give great gifts, and help ourselves all at the same time. Many of us give gifts, large and small. This year how about giving something that is grown, created or provided locally. Here are some ideas to consider for your holiday shopping:
- A hand-crafted item or piece of artwork by a local artisan or artist.
- Gift certificates to a local gallery, restaurant, salon or car detailer.
- A “share” of produce at a local CSA

In our resort-oriented coastal community, local businesses depend on visitors for a good portion of their revenue. The most successful, however, are those that have built a customer base of local folks over the years. Many of these offer shopping online and will produce gift certificates online as well.
Please comment below and share your favorite local businesses that you plan to support this holiday season.
