Holiday Shopping Starts Now!

It may seem like Halloween was just yesterday, but there’s no time like the present to start planning out those holiday gifts. 2020 has dealt us a challenging hand, to say the least. This year more than ever before, our Minnesota makers, crafters, and artists need us to help their businesses stay afloat.

Buy local or bye, local!

I saw a post on Instagram last week using those words, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

We’re already starting to see the impact on small business of COVID-19. Treasured Minneapolis restaurants — even ones that maybe we assumed could weather the storm — are closing left and right, and we’re only a few weeks into the Shelter in Place Executive Order. The order has already been extended, and I’m guessing it will last through the summer or possibly even longer. Even if it was lifted tomorrow, we’re not going back to business as usual any time soon.
