It’s December, and I hope you’re excited about this season of gift giving.
The great news is that not only can you give someone a meaningful gift, but your money can go to a good cause, whether you’re supporting an artisan in your community or across the world.
If you live in the Raleigh area, then here’s where I suggest you start your gift party. You might even find some things for yourself along the way (I won’t tell).
I’ve organized my hot spots by area and labeled them with the first few descriptors that came to my mind, as well as where you can find them.
Even if you don’t live in the area, then there’s plenty for you to shop from online…and I’ve also included some non-local places, as well.
