When you do your holiday shopping at a locally owned store, not only will you find unique and special gifts, more of your dollars will stay in the local community and do the most good.
Local shop owners are the people who do the most to support your community, from volunteering for local organizations to donating to local charities. Strong communities have strong local business communities, and the more we support our local businesses, the more our local economy will grow.
I stopped in on three local businesses today just to get three pictures of local people in local shops as a reminder to shop locally this holiday season.
Above are Mary Valle and Carrie Lawrence of Valle Jewelers.

Don and Dave are awesome!
Don and Dave are awesome! They provide the best customer service. I have never not been completely satisfied with Charles Men Shop.
Just a quick tip for Amex
Just a quick tip for Amex cardholders, if you enroll your Amex card and spend $25 at a participating local small business, you get a $25 statement credit. I did this last year enrolling all 4 cards in our family, shopped at 4 local businesses and got $100 back in credit. Win, Win
