2020 has been a year like no other in our lifetime and if you’re like a majority of Americans you are probably counting down the days until we raise our glasses and start a new year. With the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the global economy and wiping out calendars and social gatherings the holidays will no doubt have a different feel. If you’re still planning on checking off all your holiday gift lists for those you love, consider supporting local business. According to Fortune, nearly 100,000 establishments that temporarily shut down due to the pandemic are now out of business. With the sharp decrease in physical store shopping, online sales are expected to grow 20-25% this year. Before you jump on Amazon or another big box store, consider shopping online at your favorite local boutique, coffee shop, or specialty store.
