SHOPPING LOCAL DOESN’T MEAN JUST IN GRANBY

11/19/2012

0 Comments

 
This “Small Business Saturday” I’ll be shopping local -- just not in Granby.  Just like last year, I’ll be doing my “virtual” local shopping for friends and family all over the country:  A mani/pedi for my niece in Wisconcin, a dinner out for my parents at their favorite local restaurant, tickets to a ball game for my nephew in a Chicago suburb.  (Don’t worry, these were last year’s gifts…..)  With Google as your tour guide, you can order anything online these days, so before you type in Amazon.com to you web browser, Google some stores local to your far-away friends and family.  Of course I’ll be making my own list too.  Here are some hints to my loved ones….err Santa.....

Instead of…..                                                 I’d rather have……

Harry and David gift basket                          Lost Acres Vineyard gift basket

Mall clothing store gift card                          Top Drawer Consignment gift certificate

Big chain beauty products                              Neal’s Yard Organics or Lyric Hill Farm soap

Chain restaurant meal                                     Dinner for two at Metro Bis

Grocery store gift card                                    Granby Village Health gift card

Omaha Steaks                                                   Maple View Farm steaks (sorry, shameless plug)

Toys R Us                                                           Neckers
