Before you shop for Aunt Suzy or little Billy, or join the masses on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, try spicing it up with “local” under your tree. As an added stocking stuffer, American Express customers will receive $25 by shopping local on November 24th.
Need some ideas? Here’s some packaging ideas to spark your Buy Local creativity this season (many of which have Buy Local Deals attached):
• NW Wine & Chocolate: Cougar Crest Winery, Arbor Crest Winery, & Barrister Winery have some great local wines and make a yum-oh combination with huckleberry truffles made by Just American Desserts
• Local Coffee Lovers: Tom Sawyer Country Coffee or Craven’s Coffee packaged with your business mugs
• Mega Triathlete Package: Oz Fitness or The Spokane Club membership wrapped with some running shoes from Runners Soul or a bike from Two Wheel Transit (and there’s plenty of accessories for those stocking stuffers)
• Employee Thank You: While budgets might be thin, try a Dutch Bros. Coffee gift certificate or tickets to Interplayers Theatre for team camaraderie
• The Inner Chef: You are bound to find an entire package of goodies at The Kitchen Engine
• Date Night: Try a dinner gift certificate at a local favorite restaurant combined with tickets to WestCoast Entertainment Best of Broadway
• R&R: A spa package at Planet Beach Contempo Spa
• The Outdoorsman: Ski tickets to Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park and gift certificates to paddle with Pangaea River Rafting
Ho, ho, ho! Enjoy the great quality of life with your family and friends living in the Inland Northwest this holiday season!
