Here's the deal. Shopping Local isn't just trendy, it's a great way to support your community. The money you spend with a MBB (that's mom-based-business for those not in the know) or locally owned company stays in our community. It pays for dance classes and baseball, for pizza dinners on busy nights, and PTA dues. I love shopping local, and I'm happy to offer you some fun local options, mom-owned options, and some fun gifts to boot. Not everyone is going to be a small business on this list, but they're all people in our community, and I think that's super cool.
Happy Shopping, and good luck if you enter to win something!! I'll draw winners on Monday, December 23rd.
Single Item Giveaways (Alphabetical):
Offering classes in foreign language, arts, STEM, and more,
The Animated Child is the perfect place to send Grandparents for Gift Cards. I personally love the idea of giving my child an activity rather than a present- it takes up no room in the house and engages their brain! Perfect! Or, tell Grammy and Pop-Pop that a great gift would be a night off for you and your hubby! The Animated Child offers great Parent Night Out Programs with various themes including Minecraft!! A PNO is the perfect time to check out Animated Child, especially if you're considering one of their preschool/day school programs which include Last Child in the Woods and French Immersion. They're offering a free night out for a lucky reader, too!
Enter to win a free parents night out at Animated Child.
