The Outdoor Enthusiast

Gift-giving is one of the most rewarding feelings. Gifts are a way of showing the people you love most how much you appreciate them in your life. In our materialistic world, it is not difficult to find something to buy. With Amazon taking over the world, you can order and have something delivered in a matter of days.
Unfortunately, services like this are taking business away from our local economy. Typically, the holiday season is the busiest time of year for our local businesses. Sadly, now, amidst a global pandemic and the incline of big-box online shopping, people are happy shopping from the comforts of home, putting money into big corporations. These corporations are thriving more than ever before, while our small businesses are pushed to the way-side.
This holiday season, we are trying to shift the buying mindset. Buying local can now be just as easy. Gift certificates are going to be the gift of choice for the 2020 season. With this way of gifting, your loved ones can use their gift certificates in-store when they feel safe, and we can keep our local businesses up and running!
To make shopping local just a little bit easier, we are putting together a gift giving guide to get you started and this week we are shopping for: The Outdoor Enthusiast!
