Are you looking for the perfect gift while supporting small businesses AND supporting the Northwest Arkansas economy?
Well, look no further because the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center (ASBTDC) has created its first Holiday Gift Guide!
The Holiday Gift Guide is composed of a selection of our 2021 clients who offer unique, high-quality products and services. Shop local this season and get some (or all!) of your holiday shopping done with any of these small businesses!
This holiday season, shopping local can also save you the headache of shipping and supply issues due to the pandemic. Local small businesses have inventory in stock and ready to gift.
The ASBTDC Holiday Gift Guide is full of the best gifts for her, him, colleagues, kids, and friends alike. You will also find gifts that will make memories to last a lifetime, or gifts for the friend that might be a little more difficult to shop for.
Check out these categories and shop the links. Let this list guide you through the 2021 holiday season, and remember to shop small and shop local!
