Shop Local for the Holidays

By Staff

The holidays are often a time to support local businesses over the large, big brand stores we have come to appreciate. However, there is nothing better than shopping with our local companies as it helps keep their doors open during the off-season. 

With this in mind, it is always important to note that shopping locally also generally means finding something that is nearly one of a kind. In this list, you will find a few places that are off the beaten path. 

If you're searching for something unique and special, Claudia’s studio offers everything from one of kind are pieces, to sculptures, jewelry, and more. They even offer special framing for that piece of art you have been admiring. Stop in anytime from Wednesday through Sunday. 

There is nothing more satisfying as giving a new home to a hidden treasure. While Our Sisters Place is a thrift store, it’s important to note that you can often find brand-new items at this hidden gem. Don’t forget though, that each dollar spent helps domestic violence victims in our community. Stop by anytime Tuesday through Saturday. 

Who doesn’t love a fresh pair of underwear or a new bathing suit? Creative Male offers a varied selection of underwear, bathing suits, men's clothing, and accessories. Open daily, so please stop by and support a long-term LGBTQ-owned business this holiday season. Open daily throughout the holidays. 

In Touch is a Key West LGBQT staple that hosts a variety of pride merchandise, but most notably the December Diamonds, mermen collection. When you visit Key West, this is a must-stop place to pick up souvenirs and special gifts for those you love. If you’re not able to make it to the Keys, they don’t mind shipping your special gift.
