This Christmas, if you want to give back big, then think small.
Small businesses, that is.
Local mom and pop shops have suffered devastating economic blows due to the coronavirus. Therefore, shopping local for the perfect Christmas gift will light up the holidays for small business owners throughout Lake and Sumter counties.
The exciting part is that Style is taking the guesswork out of your shopping experience. Three of our staff writers spent days out on the shopping trail and discovered plenty of cool and unique treasures offered at just some of those local stores. We’re showcasing these treasures to help you find the ideal gift for a loved one.
Happy shopping. Remember, think small.
