Hi everybody! With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to start shopping for gifts. Are you confused on what to get your friends, family and relatives? Don’t be! Here are five local gifts ideas!
But first, why should you buy your gifts locally? Well, the recent pandemic has severely impacted many local businesses and you can do your part in helping them by buying in local stores. Moreover, shopping locally helps grow your community’s economy since when shopping locally, approximately 48% of the cost of your purchase is recirculated back into the local economy. Furthermore, when shopping local, you create job stability for current working citizens in your community, as well as opening the door for more local hiring opportunities.
So now let’s look at some gifts you can buy from local businesses. Are you looking for a gift for kids from ages 4-12? Well, Flomask is the perfect gift for them. While it isn’t a traditional gift, it is an item that is greatly beneficial during this pandemic. Flomask blocks 99.8% of viruses and prevents children from breathing in the contaminated air caused from air pollution. Order it online on their website at ‘https://flomask.com/’.
Not sure what your friend or family member particularly likes? Get them a gift card! Gift cards are perfect for people who are quite picky. They allow the person to choose their own gift. One that guarantees satisfaction!
Looking for a classic and a simple gift? A book is the perfect option! You can order a book from the nearest bookstore near you and give it as a gift. But during now, it might be particularly hard to find a bookstore close to you. So go to this website called ‘https://bookshop.org/’ and find multiple bookstores near you!
Shopping for an artistic person? I recommend buying them new paint, or new brushes. Especially now, since it’s a pandemic, most of us are quarantined. Getting some art supplies would give your friend or family member something new to do!
For the last gift suggestion, I suggest buying a planner as a gift. This might not be an exciting gift but it certainly is useful. With the new year coming soon, a planner is perfect to organize your schedule and who knows, maybe the person you give it too could use it to complete their new year's resolution.
These five gift ideas are sure to make your friend or family member happy! While they may not be unique gifts, they certainly will be useful right now.
