You only have a couple of days left to shop locally & consciously for the holidays! For all you last minute shoppers Amazon can’t save you now! Here are a few tips to help guide you in the right direction. While our businesses are closed to walk in’s many have arranged for curbside pickup, and some are even still offering local delivery. All eateries are offering takeout (pickup or delivery).... If you’re looking for a last minute gift consider purchasing a gift card from a local salon, spa, fitness or wellness studio for your friends or family to use once the lockdown measures have lifted. The best was to know what businesses are offering is to check out their social media or give them a call. Thank you for choosing to support local for the holidays! #Hamilton #SmallBusiness #SupportLocal #ShopLocal #holidaygiftideas #shopsmall #smallbusiness #OttawaStreetBIA #holidayshopping #SpendItHere #HamOnt
