It’s go time, Buffalo! Gift giving season is here and shopping local is the trend of the year.
Not only does the shop local movement help Buffalo and Western New York’s economy and local businesses stay afloat, it’s also the perfect way to level up your gifting game in 2020. Why? Because gifts purchased from small businesses come with a story behind them and nothing says thoughtful like a gift with a story.
