Support local and small businesses this holiday season

When things started shutting down in March and April I started a list of small and local businesses that ship and/or deliver to encourage people to shop small. I like most of us I do shop at Amazon, Target, and other large stores. It’s easy, they often have multiple things I need, and I can take advantage of features such as free shipping and exploring people’s wish list.

There isn’t anything wrong with convenience, but this holiday season I have tried hard to do a lot of my shopping at small and local businesses. We are all hurting economically right now and holiday sales for a small business can make or break them. On my list, I’ve also included a number of home shops I have purchased from on Etsy or Redbubble. A lot of people are trying to run a business to supplement or replace lost income.

Please check out the list and consider helping out some small businesses this season. If you or a friend run a small business that you’d like me to add to my public list please shoot me a message with the link to the business, where you’re located, what you sell, and where you ship or deliver to. I update the list weekly and I’d be happy to add your business.
