I already anticipate how crucial the upcoming winter months will be for all of our beloved independent businesses. If you have been following Macaroni Kid for a while, you know we always iterate SHOP LOCAL. If you can, try to buy holiday gifts EARLY and from independent artists and stores. I promise all of my hand-selected favorite gifts are going to bring cheer and joy to everyone in your life!
In case you need a reminder,
- Hanukkah begins 12/10
