Shop Local This Holiday Season!
I Love RVA & Supporting Small Business!
RVA is filled with amazing small businesses perfect for gifting! I’d love to support all of them, but for now here is a list of just a few of these great Virginia finds. Chosen by me for no reason other than I love what they have to offer! Many of these small businesses create beautiful, handmade, unique items that anyone would love to receive as a gift.
I hope you enjoy this local Holiday Gift Guide! And why not treat yourself while you’re at it?
I created a shop local list last year, and it was a huge hit! So on this Small Business Saturday, I’m at it again with a brand new batch of local favs.
Even if you don’t purchase anything, you can still support these businesses just by giving them a like, comment or mentioning them to someone else.
Because now, more than ever, local businesses need our support.
