This year, check out local shops featuring handmade, fair trade, and organic items. These gifts are usually more special because they are original and they have numerous benefits for the community. Everyone wins! Some of my favorite places here in Maryland are Nest, Mother Nature's, and Lovely Yarns.

Where will you be shopping?
