2020 has been, well...a year. As the temps have dropped and I'm getting all cozy in my sweatpants (I'm a full believer now, #sorrynotsorry), I have been thinking ahead to this winter.
With many small businesses struggling to keep their doors open, we can support them by shopping local. It's true that every time an order comes through, a small business owner does a little happy dance. In their sweatpants.
This season I wanted to share with you some of my favorite goods from local shops and talented makers. I have rounded up a few of my favorites that are sure to make perfect presents. You can find something fun for everyone on your list: mom, dad and the kiddos.
