The holidays can be crazy. For some, it's preparing dinner and watching the game. For others, spending time with family and friends. For many, it's the dreaded chaos of crowded stores, standing in line until your feet are sore only to be disappointed by nearly empty shelves and boring gift ideas. If this sounds familiar - pay attention. We have some important information to share with you! ​

Checking out small businesses can save you from becoming a Scrooge this holiday season. Avoiding large crowds and tired employees doesn't mean you have to miss out on a great selection of unique gifts. Every item within a small business has been hand-picked by a thoughtful owner with your best interest in mind. They strive to make your shopping experience personable, convenient and enjoyable. When you shop small, you're not only supporting their business, but your entire community. So take a stroll down your local main street or (if you're the type of shopper that prefers the comfort of your pajamas) take a look at our list down below. Either way, let's get together and give back to those who are always there.

When a baby sleeps good, mom and dad can too. Gift a gift the whole family can enjoy. ​
