Hot trend for warm hearts this holiday season: Shop local online. Many of the superb, infinitely varied indie makers and merchants in the Hudson Valley have smooth new e-commerce capabilities that make it incredibly easy to purchase unique, ethically sourced, beautiful items online, with customer service to match. In-person safety measures are on point too.
When you support these creative locals, you’re giving a precious gift to us all: a future of sustainable local prosperity, in communities that hum with realized dreams. It’s never been more important than it is right now. And you simply can’t do better anywhere else.
