You know what to do. Support independent retailers as much as you can this holiday season. Sure, you need tech gifts and you might drift into a big box retailer, but if you commit to a percentage of items bought from independent stores, artists and crafts people you will be making a difference in the lives of people in your community. That is a MUCH better gift then anything you can find at something called mart. Do it. Commit to shopping small y'all.
Do you have a small shop? Etsy store? Put your link in the comments and I'll post them on Facebook too! Let's support each other this year during the holidays!
