A gift guide for shopping small in East Cobb this holiday season

East Cobb shopping small gift guide

For the holiday season we’re encouraging East Cobb residents to really keep it local with their shopping. East Cobb News contributor Tamar Levy has rounded up a few small businesses that provide a truly authentic community touch with their products, goods, services and customer connection.

Last Saturday was the traditional “Shop Small” promotion begun more than a decade ago by American Express to help promote community-focused businesses, especially retailers.

With additional promotions such as Cyber Monday, the shopping small ethos continues through the holiday season.

Levy will be contributing other holiday stories over the coming weeks. We’ll also be adding more freelancers in the new year to help us cover more of the news you’ve come to expect from East Cobb News.

In a recent reader survey, a number of you said you wanted more news and coverage of local businesses, and here’s an example of what we have in mind. Feel free to tell us how we’re doing.
