Chester County "Shop Local" Holiday Gift Guide

November 7, 2019
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. Our challenge for this season? Try to purchase some amazing, unique local gifts right here in our community. Get shopping with our gift suggestions below! We think we've got you covered with a variety of categories and suggestions but if you still need an idea - send us an email and we'll try to help you track down that great unique local gift.  

Don't forget about our free calendar of kids' events and activities for the holidays - sign up for it here.
