With Christmas around the corner, it's time to start thinking about gifts for those on your list. Whether you go for a classic or something more unique will depend on both the person and on your relationship together. Now more than ever before, it's so important to do your best and shop locally. Purchasing from a small business owner could make all the difference.
Here are five gift ideas that'll show others how much you appreciate them:
Wine or Tea/Coffee
These are classic gift options because people love them. Find something that most people will enjoy; you can opt to pick up a gift card, or pick up some key items and create a basket filled with goodies.

Chocolates. Cookies. Cupcakes... enough said, right? If you want to go the extra mile, add a personalized spin to a sweet treat, such as a written cake with a special message, or cookies that are decorated with the gift recipient's favorite band, artist, book characters, pets, or other theme.
