Otherwise it was Amazon, Toys R Us and Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435656 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:38:05 +0000 mediagirl 435656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I buy a couple of things from etsy but, that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435505 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:51:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 435505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: haha!!! he sounds feisty for a 9-10 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435496 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:46:17 +0000 BananaPancakes 435496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Ha! He'd be thrilled with it if it didn't involve getting in the carseat and if I'd let him crawl all over the store. He thinks the stroller is for babies with nothing better to do, and he has plans. I wear him in the Ergo often, but even that's getting short-lived at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435492 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:42:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 435492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought quite a few gifts from small businesses this year. I've also purchased gifts from Best Buy too though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435484 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:38:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 435484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: is he not keen on shopping? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435470 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:31:15 +0000 prettylizy 435470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as I love to shop local, every single one of our Christmas purchases were from large chain stores or designer labels :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435468 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:29:21 +0000 BananaPancakes 435468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do, but this year, shopping with a baby sounds miserable. So if I can't get it online, it's probably not happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435464 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:28:25 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 435464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I've got everything from my town. I get some things online sometimes, because we live in a super small town with not a lot of options, but I try to live by "put your money where your house is".</p> <p>I work with small business owners on a daily basis, so people ordering online/across the border REALLY affects them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435457 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:18:36 +0000 HLK208 435457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a majority of Christmas presents from a local toy store then more off of etsy (not local but support small business). We did buy a few things at target though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-local-for-the-holidays#post-435452 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:14:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 435452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to support small, local businesses! Just bought our nephews gift at a local home-schooling/education/games store and made another purchase off etsy.</p> <p>However I will admit I made a large haul on amazon for most gifts.</p> <p>How about you? </p>
