This year, more than ever our small businesses need us to support them. Below you will find easy swaps to support the community. I have also compiled lists of small shops + creators by city. If you have anything to add, feel free to comment below.
5 EASY SWAPS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Ditch the Starbucks gift card and opt for a local coffee shop or restaurant.
Breakup gift card amounts to support several businesses. ie- $25 to 4 restaurants vs $100 to one.
Instead of hosting a plain old holiday party, spice it up with a local workout class livestream, or class such as cocktails, cooking, painting or florals. Many businesses are offering these, ask around on SM if you can't find one.
Skip the gifting all together and donate money to a local charity in a friends name.
Instead of shopping at Sephora or Ulta, support your local hairdresser many of them sell products including holiday sets. Same idea in mind, buy cocktail kits or wine form local, small restaurants many of them have fun mixes!
