Do you have some last minute shopping to get done before Christmas or are you struggling to find a few more gifts to check off your list? What better gifts to give your family and friends than local products or experiences! Do they have a favourite store? Cafe? Gift cards and locally sourced products make great presents or stocking stuffers and there are plenty to choose from in Golden.

If your holidays have been reduced from their normal eventfulness as many people’s have, you may not be purchasing as many gifts or paying to host large meals as you traditionally would. If that is the case, and if you are able, consider donating a portion of your usual gift budget to non-profit local causes like the Golden Food Bank, or the Golden Family Center to help others in need in our community.

In the spirit of the holiday giving season, why not do a bit more local shopping than usual. Supporting the independent owners in town helps create a stronger community and promotes a growing economy rather than buying online or from big box stores. Whether it’s gift cards for stockings and cards or larger purchases like apparel or equipment, all the local shopping you do has a positive impact on the community as a whole.
