It’s no secret that this year has been the pits. With the ongoing pandemic things have been bleak. It’s been especially bleak for all of the small businesses trying to hang on. Now that the holidays are quickly approaching I have whipped together a list of nearly 50 places to shop small in Metro Detroit for all of your gift giving needs. Throughout the list, I’m not only going to highlight brick and mortar stores, but also the people who supply the goods that go into the stores. From baby and children’s goods, clothes, food, and housewares this list should have something for everyone. This should go without saying but if you do decide to head out to the store to do some shopping please wear your mask, keep your distance, and also be nice to these shop owners and employees. It’s hard out there, and a little bit of kindness goes an extra long way nowadays. And if you have a favorite, local place we should consider, send me an email at shi -at- dailydetroit.com. I’d love to keep adding to this. Here's the whole list: http://www.dailydetroit.com/2020/11/24/your-ultimate-and-ever-growing-metro-detroit-small-business-holiday-shopping-guide/
