Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?

Is your email inbox full of marketing emails from national retailers? It’s hard to resist because we’re all busy…it’s so much easier to just buy your present from a big box store or national retailer when they’re offering BIG discounts and even free shipping/guaranteed shipping before Christmas.

We hope you consider SHIFTING some of your spending this holiday season to a local business because…

 

1 week left before Christmas!

Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?  We hope that you make your way to your local and independent shops this holiday season to buy any last-minute presents.

Shop Local & Independent: Plaid Friday

When do you start shopping for holiday presents? Do you do most of your shopping during Thanksgiving weekend?  We hope that you consider supporting local and independent businesses on “Black Friday” Plaid Friday! Check out Oakland Grown’s website for more information.
