The holiday shopping season is quickly approaching (let’s be honest, it’s already here!), so we put together a guide for shopping local-ish this year! We know it’s not realistic to shop from locally owned businesses for every person on your list, so Carrie breaks down her best strategies for making a list, making (and staying on) a budget, and making shopping fun! We also get into some out-of-the-box gift ideas, and ways to support local shops even if you aren’t able to buy gifts from them. Full show notes at LocalistPodcast.com.
