Support Local Cape Cod this Holiday Season.
One of my favorite things about Cape Cod is how the majority of shops and restaurants are locally owned. The downtowns are not lined with National Chains. The holiday season is a great time to support these independently owned-businesses. Even if you are not a full-time resident of Cape Cod but you can support your favorite local businesses this holiday season. Many businesses stay open all year and most have online stores. Many towns have events around the holidays like Christmas Strolls. Gift Cards or a shirt from your favorite summer destination is a great way to support local Cape Cod.
Here is a list of 10 suggestions on how everyone can support
1. Buy your holiday treats at a local bakery. Suggestion: Guilty Bakers Mashpee Commons
2. Take a trip and buy your Tree at a Local Cape Cod. Suggestion Cape Abilities
3. Attend Love Live Local'fest and support the business. Event with local vendors Saturday, Dec 3 in Hyannis LoveLiveLocal.com
4. Cheers the New Year with a local Cape Cod Beer Wine or Spirit!
5. Plan a trip! Buy a gift card to a hotel for your friends and family. Escape to another part of the Cape for the weekend and support local businesses.
6. Pamper the women in your life. Buy a gift card to a local nail salon or spa. Cape Cod Nail Co.
7. Shop Cape Cod online. It is 2022. You don't have to go out of your way to visit the shop. Google your favorite shop. I bet they sell online.
8. Order a gift card from your favorite restaurant and plan a visit.
9. The Cape is also made up of many service industries. Reach out to your favorite contractor, cleaner, or home service and buy that person on your list a gift card to help them out!
10. The Cape has tons of seasonal events. Christmas strolls and winter celebrations. Give Amazon a break and get out there.
