My Favorite benefit of buying local is that the money usually stays in the town that you bought art and gifts from, not some far away country or large corporation.
Before you buy a present that needs an extended warranty, let me suggest a lasting gift-giving alternative: Put some local art under the tree. It gives such a warm feeling when you invest in local artists. In away it is an extension of a strong community
So if you’re looking for a special Christmas gift — something that will stand the test of time — without getting mixed up with thrill-seeking Black Friday shoppers, think of your local artists willing to help your shopping with their art.
