SHOP LOCAL THIS YEAR
This holiday season, it’s never been more important to support local businesses. To help, we’ve put together a special Loyal to Local Holiday Gift Guide.
Looking for special gifts for the special people in your life? Shopping local is the perfect way to find unique gifts while giving back to your community. Our Gift Guide features 12 local businesses throughout Southwestern Ontario — so there’s something for everyone on your list!
Libro is committed to growing prosperity in southwestern Ontario. Local businesses put 4.6 times more money into the local economy than multinational corporations, recirculating 63 per cent of their revenue back into the economy.
“We know the coming winter will be difficult for so many people,” said Libro CEO Stephen Bolton.
“Some local businesses are already struggling, and local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.”
When you shop local this holiday season, remember to get social with us! Use the hashtag #Loyal2LocalChallenge and tag Libro on social media.
12 Local Small Businesses to Shop at This Holiday Season
We all have someone who’s impossible to buy for. Giftii takes the pressure off! Their locally-focused gift boxes feature products from over 40 local and Canadian small businesses — pre-curated options or create your own on their website. There’s bound to be something they like! Located in London, Giftii offers shipping across Canada, making gifting local easier than ever.
Luxurious pedicures, heavenly manicures, mineral make-up applications, need we say more? Spoil that special someone with a gift card from St. Thomas’ Cedarhurst Salon and Spa, or shop their online boutique! I highly recommend the 1 hour and 30 minute spa pedicure service (your choice of four Certified Organic Fragrances).
