Saw an ad on TV about Shop Small Monday or something like that. I think that with Christmas coming I'd like to suggest Punawebbers shop small too.
Personally before I even think of shopping at a big box like Walmart or Macy's I always check out the local small shops first. And I often don't make it into the crowded Walmart parking lot.
I always find nice things at Puna Style in Pahoa for instance. Maku`u Market will be jammed with local crafts. Some of our PW members will be selling there. I have also had good fortune shopping at the Hilo Bayfront's small locally own shops..... a lot of them carry quality merchandise from local artists and crafts.
So I will invite Punawebbers to make suggestions on local small businesses they enjoy and recommend for Christmas shopping.
Shop local first! And if you possibly can buy and extra nice toy or two to donate to local charities.
Aloha
