- Local Arts & Crafts: This year support your local artists and artisans by giving the gift of art. Commission a painting, buy a framed print, gift some handmade jewelry or pottery. There are so many options for buying from local vendors. Outdoor craft fairs like the Artwalk or first Friday events are one way to shop for local arts and crafts, but you can also find plenty of items online. For example, on our very own OT Circus Art Auction on Facebook.
- Your Neighborhood Shop: Many local businesses are putting their inventory on their websites or their Facebook page, so you can shop from home and pick the items up. Some even have a curbside pick up option. If you can’t find anything online, give the shop a call and see what they can do for you.
- Restaurants: Though indoor dining is currently unavailable and it’s little cold for patio dining, hopefully restaurants will open back up soon. In the meantime, many establishments are providing take out options. Support your local eatery by purchasing a gift card as a present or stocking stuffer!
