The holidays look very different this year. Not only are the usual celebrations with extended family moving online or not happening at all, but many families and local staples have also been hit with economic difficulties over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have compiled a list of local Greensboro businesses to turn to for gifts this year with a wide range of prices and online accessibility to meet everyone’s gift-giving needs.
Each applicable business will include a link to their website or online storefront. We encourage you to shop locally this year if you can afford to do so. While not always financially possible, it’s important to support neighbors and community members who help make Greensboro unique when you can! Additionally, refer to the link below for a more extensive list of the stores you can support in downtown Greensboro!
