The holiday shopping season is here and billions will be spent this year on gifts. If you’re someone who likes to find that unique item to wrap up in a bow, and someone who likes to shop local, we have something that can help. “Buy Michigan Now” has released its 15th annual holiday gift guide.
Support local businesses during Buy Michigan Now Week
Host Tati Amare chatted with Lisa Diggs, Founder of Buy Michigan Now about how to support local businesses. Lisa suggests buying local brands, promoting local brands on social media, and telling others about the products to actively support local businesses. Some of the products Lisa mentioned were fresh vegetables from the farmers market, Al Dente Pasta Company, and Little Diablos Salsa. To see if a product is local, check the packaging for a Michigan made sticker to make sure its locally produced. Michigan businesses are encouraged to join the Buy Michigan Now campaign.
