2020 Shop Local Guide
If you’re native to Philly use this resource for all your 2020 holiday shopping needs! I broke down the places in categories so you don’t have to waste your time trying to figure out what’s what. I know it’s so easy to shop on Amazon, but if you have the means to spend a little more money & time, really try to find your holiday gifts (& even items for yourself) through local businesses! This is definitely the hardest year for them yet. Also added a cafes section for those who are willing & able to go in person for coffees + books + giftcards!
