This year, in support of the Buy Local that we’re involved in, we decided to purchase ALL (or as many as we could) of our gifts, from businesses in our community. Being someone who tends to shop online for most things (the age of electronics!), we headed out one chilly Saturday morning.
In all honesty, we didn’t expect to be very successful. The old stigmas of village-shopping still ringing in my head… too expensive, too “eclectic”, too small a collection etc etc etc.
Proud to report back that within an hour and a half – our ENTIRE Christmas list was completed – with the most unusual, yes even eclectic, gifts that were just perfect! Proud!
