Buy with love: 10 holiday gift ideas to help you shop locally

We’ve all been there — in long lines, in tight corners, in cramped spaces, waiting, pushing and shoving to buy that perfect gift you spotted in a mall during a holiday shopping frenzy.

Every year, we tell ourselves we’ll be better than last year — better with our gift selection, better with last-minute holiday panic and better with our time, energy and money.

Maybe it’s not too late. Maybe there is still time to change the way we shop for the holidays because maybe it’s not just the thought that counts but our actions too.

Whether you’re shopping for someone celebrating a new addition to their family, someone who loves learning new recipes or someone who yearns for hand-written cards, visit the Evergreen Garden Market for a one-stop shopping experience where your gift purchases support local artists and small businesses.
