The holiday season is here, which means it’s time to decide who’s been naughty or nice. Instead of running to the computer for what and where to shop this year, treat yourself to a day of discovery by checking out the numerous local shops and boutiques in your community, or just a few miles beyond. You’ll be surprised to find countless unique and one-of-a-kind gifts available like, Rosy Ring Candles, gourmet chocolates, doTERRA essential oils, Brighton brand accessories, 100 percent handmade beeswax candles and lotions, cupcake shaped bath balms, and Mary Frances handbags—many of them by local vendors. So give the gifts friends and family members will treasure for years to come, and have fun shopping locally this year.
