With the craziness of this year, our community needs some love!
Shopping local and supporting local has always been important – building up our community and encouraging growth is so important. However, with the craziness of this past year and the pandemic, it’s so important to shop local and support small businesses, especially those with a brick and mortar, for our Christmas gifts! Here are some fun ideas for those you love:
- No Roots Boots – you KNOW your sister wants a new pair of some pretty amazing boots. Paige also has other great accessories that would make fun grab bag gifts or stocking stuffers. https://norootsboots.com/
- So Chic Boutique – located in Morton AND Peoria, this is basically a one-stop shop for Christmas! From stationary to baby books to coffee mugs to kitchen gadgets, just stop in! You won’t regret it. http://thesochicboutique.com/

If your daughter or granddaughter or sister needs a 2021 Planner, check out East to West Studio. https://easttoweststudio.com/.
