Grab Your Last Minute Gifts at These Local Treasures
We’re mere days, nay, HOURS before stores close for the holiday. If you’re like me, you’re down to the wire with more than one person still on your shopping list. If you’re tempted to make a late-night Walmart run because you’re just not sure what other options you have, you’re not alone! BUT there are lots of local businesses offering incredible products and services, who really need extra love and support this holiday season.
Here’s a list of 14 local businesses you still have time to shop at this holiday season:
4000 Holes Records in North Monroe. This is a staple of the Spokane music scene and one of the most beloved independent businesses in town. Pop in to buy vinyl, merch, and more.
Earthing Nova is a woman-owned, green business that offers apothecary soaps, bath bombs, and herbal body oils. They also offer a variety of services for helping women transition through some of life’s hardest changes.
