The holiday season is a season of giving, and an opportunity for local businesses to get an extra boost at the end of the year. Spending money inside your community directly benefits local community members and their families. This Christmas, we wanted to give you some ideas of local gifts to buy your loved ones.
A warm beverage on a cold day. The easiest and usually most affordable gift you can give is a gift card to a local coffee shop. Grab a few $5 or $10 gift cards and slip them in stockings or in an envelope on the tree. Here are some local favorites: The Backroom and Belle’s Coffee House
Gift a blowout. Sometimes, a hair wash and blowout can turn a bad day around and it just feels good. No commitment and the best pick me up! Here are some local spots: Bello Skin and Beauty, E&M Hair, Natural Beauty, Jemz Salon, and Cardinal Spa & Massage.
Date Night! A dinner for two at some of our local spots can be the biggest stress reliever to parents or any couple going through a stressful time. Local spots: The Blue Cow, Gypsy Nickel, Schubergs, or Two Hats Ranch Supper Club.
If you have a friend that’s into fitness, a gift certificate to a Pilates class could be just the thing. Ava at Big Rapid’s Pilates has classes for beginners, intermediate, or more advanced. Such a fun, unique way to pamper a friend.
Take a friend to the next Comedy Night at The Peaks. Every third Thursday of the month, The Peaks hosts a comedy show open to the public. The line up of comedians has been great, and they complete the experience with popcorn and drinks from their cash bar. A fun local treat that is unique and sure to wow the recipient.
If you have a woman in your life that loves unique jewelry, Paris Creek Jewelry is the perfect option. Located out of Paris, the creativity and unique collections of jewelry that the owner makes by hand is truly breath taking. Find her on instagram at @pariscreekjewelry or online at pariscreekjewelry.com
Host or gift a Permanent Jewelry party with Alexis Jackson. A fun idea to gift your wife or best friend, a girl’s night with their closest friends. No one can complain about pretty jewelry either. Find her on Facebook or contact her through Bello Skin & Beauty.
A massage. The most relaxing gift with health benefits. A massage can be just what a hardworking individual needs to feel calm during a crazy holiday season. Our local favorites: Cardinal Spa & Massage and Quantum Wellness Chiro.
A full car detail. Let’s be honest, we all could use our car being deep cleaned. Especially during winter with the salt and mud, it’s hard to keep up with cleaning. Some local help: C2 Detailing.
A yummy snack. Something so easy, but also so kind and thoughtful is the gift of a small treat. A good thing, is that we have a lot of options! Try something individually or put together a snack basket for a gift. Local options: Jack’s Italian Bakery, Three Girl’s Bakery, Old Pioneer Store & Emporium, The Pie Whole, The Sugar Daddy’s Bakery, and Bernie’s Place.
Hopefully, this list helps you get at least one gift for a friend. Buying in the community HELPS the community. Happy Holidays!
