21 Small Businesses We Love To Shop This Christmas Season
Jeff Bezos certainly doesn't need your support this holiday season, but guess who does? Small businesses.
Happy Small Business Saturday! One thing people mistakenly assume on this day is that they'll be forced to brave the cold, fight the traffic downtown, and wait in painstakingly long lines in order to support local businesses during Christmas. While you can (and should) pop into your favorite local boutique to do some shopping, with online retail thriving, it’s easier than ever to support small businesses all across the world during the Christmas season. Here are 21 of our favorites.
