Holiday Shopping! Destinations off the beaten path to explore


As seen in Destination Magazine November 2021


Years ago, it was as if magic was in the air when the holidays rolled around. Each year the whole family would hop in the car to make a special trip into town to scour the street on a hunt for the perfect holiday gift for each of our family and friends. Poinsettias, twinkling lights, silver and gold ornaments, greenery and red bows, would decorate the stores while Nat King Cole filled the room putting you in the holiday spirit.


While showering loved ones with gifts has become a big part of holiday traditions for many Americans, online shopping has made the whole experience less enchanting. This year, the effects of the global pandemic have disrupted the retail industry forcing people to rethink how they find their holiday gifts. Instead of cramming in all your shopping into an online spree, with no idea if your gifts will ever arrive, indulge in the holiday cheer by shopping local marketplaces found in brick and mortar shops.
