There are more reasons than ever to shop local this Christmas. We’ve all seen the news, and we’ve all experienced first-hand the shortages since our lives were turned upside down with a pandemic. We’ve got good news: you can shop small in Nashville to fill those gaps! Grab your list and turn to local artisans for your Christmas shopping in Nashville this year and every year!
1: Shop local this Christmas because we’re not shipping from overseas!
Don’t panic, but it’s likely that there will be shortages of the things we all want and need this holiday season. The number one way to get the things you need in time is to shop local this Christmas! Handmade Nashville has over 2,000 members in our artisan group, and we’re all right here in your community! Many of our artisans offer contactless porch drop or meet up, but even if we have to ship something to you, we’re not shipping from a different state or even from the other side of the world, so our delivery times are much faster!
2: It’s Easy to Shop Small in Nashville
We are fortunate to have a large and talented community of small handmade shops right in our area! Handmade Nashville has made it easy to support local shops – you can follow our Facebook page or join the Handmade Nashville shopping group to see new handmade items for the holidays every day! We also publish gift guides to make it simple to shop small without even leaving the house!
If you want to get out and shop in person however, you can do your Christmas shopping in Nashville all in one place at a craft show! Our team will be in Bellevue November 27th for the Handmade Nashville 6th annual Holiday Market with 65 other small businesses all offering gorgeous handmade gifts for the holidays. You can also sign up for our Nashville events newsletters and get info on other local events where you can do your holiday shopping!
3: Support a Local Family
In addition to fast delivery times, when you purchase from a Nashville craft business, you’re supporting our local economy instead of lining the pockets of a corporation. According to Forbes, out of every $100 spent at local businesses, $68 will stay in our local community. We are more likely to reinvest that money with other local businesses like restaurants, shops, and other small businesses in Nashville! Why not help a neighbor and get something awesome by doing your Christmas shopping in Nashville this year?
4: Unique and One-of-a-Kind gifts!
We get it, sometimes you want the popular things, but if you are yearning for one-of-a-kind gifts this year, come to one of our Nashville craft shows or join our virtual shopping group. You’ll find unique items that are made with love and attention to detail – you can’t say that of most of the products you find on the shelves (or not) in big box stores!
