Every year it gets tougher for small independent retail stores to succeed. Especially in critical times it’s so important to support the small ones and shop your winter holiday gifts from the local stores. These are my top 5 reasons why:
#1. We pour our hearts into it! 🥰
Behind every local shop are countless days (and nights) of hard work. Researching what’s popular, what’s ahead of the trends, what vendors are worth supporting, what is priced well, it goes on and on. It’s a labor of love that deserves to be seen and appreciated.
#2. You support a circle of dreams.🤩
When you buy from a small retailer, you’re not only supporting the owner of that store and the employees that work there, but you’re also lifting up the small businesses they’ve chosen to share with you!
#3. You’re saying no to big chains! Let’s face it, they have enough! Shopping small is a conscious choice to keep individuality, creativity and your community spirit thriving.🤗
#4. You make our freaking day! Every time someone says, “oh my God I love everything you’ve chosen to sell; you’ve done such a great job curating these gifts”. We literally do an internal happy dance!🤓
#5. You keep the magic of your small town alive. Local shops bring warmth, connection, and character to your community. It’s a kind of magic no shopping mall or Amazon can ever offer.😉
