It's holiday shopping time and choosing the perfect gift for each person on your list is part of the excitement of the season - you can find just the right way show your love, thanks and appreciation through gift-giving. We're here to give you some great reasons to shop local this year as well as to make it as easy as possible for you to do so.
Did you know that for every $100 spent in a locally owned business, $68 returns to the community in the form of spending and taxes? If you spend that much in a large national chain store $43 returns to the community and if you shop those same chains online, nothing comes back to the community in the form of spending or taxes.
Get shopping with our gift suggestions below!
Don't forget about our free weekly events lists full of kids' events and activities for the holidays - sign up to get yours for the West Chester area | Kennett Square area | or the Media area.
Happy Shopping and Happy Holidays!
