Why not get out of the house and shop safely in person this year instead of online? It is an enjoyable way to spend your day, but there are other benefits.
We know you want to support small businesses. We have seen (more than ever recently) what a treasure our small businesses and retailers are!
Whether you are a Davie County resident, or visiting from the surrounding areas, our towns offer unsurpassed value, unexpected gift ideas, and an experience that makes us worth the (just a short) drive!

Reasons to Shop Our Small Towns
- It’s Practical
- More FUN – Less Stress
- A Personal Touch
- Shared Values
- You Feel Good About Supporting & Shopping Small
Gift shopping is essential at this time of year and shopping our small towns can offer a level of customer service that is unmatched by corporate giants. Our boutiques and stores carry interesting and hard to find items.
They also provide advice for choosing great gifts for everyone on your list this year. A shorter drive will let you use that gas money for something fun.
Combine a shopping trip with the holiday fun offered during this jolly season; carols from live bands, horse and carriage rides, and the lighting of a Christmas tree combine to make a simple day of shopping a holiday experience for you family.
More Fun – Less Stress
Anticipation Schmanticipation- life has enough uncertainty! When you buy in person, you don’t have to wait (shipping delays!) or worry about what an item REALLY looks like. Is it as big as it looks online? Is the fit going to be right? What about the colors? Every computer screen looks different – remember the dress controversy? Yikes! When you see an item yourself, those fears melt away, and the only thing you have to wait for is the look on their face when they unwrap the perfect gift.
A Personal TouchAhem, we may have mentioned, there is just nothing like the personal touch you experience when working with local boutiques and businesses! They know quality merchandise, and they are staking their small-town reputations on providing you with only the best they have to offer in products and services. The brands you love, plus out of the ordinary gift choices and specialty items along with personalized services, you won’t get from big-box stores or online.
Shared Values & Shopping Small
Local business owners care about the things you care about. They live in our neighborhoods and share the same values. They give back to our communities.
They are the ones who donate to your kids’ schools, send items to the humane society and the local food pantries. They are there for you day in and day out. Let’s make sure they will be there through all the recent challenges they have faced alongside us!
Supporting small boutiques and businesses feels good and shows you are a pretty smart shopper!
Speaking of being a smart shopper, are you ready to discover the perfect gift for everyone on your list?
