Local DMV Holiday Gift Guide
Updated: Jan 31, 2022
We are incredibly lucky to live in the Metropolitan D.C. area with so many amazing local businesses. We’ve discovered so many, especially this last year. You’ve likely already heard/read several hundred times “shop early this year” due to all the supply chain issues and shipment delays. So why not check out these great options in our area? We’ve curated a list of some of our favorites, but this barely even scratches the surface of all the options out there. And don't forget about gift cards to local restaurants!
