Digital gift guide, berkeleyholidays.com, features promotions and inspiration from over 100 Berkeley businesses
Support our local economy this holiday season by skipping the big box sales and purchasing gifts from Berkeley artisans and small businesses -- many of which are highlighted in a local digital gift guide, BerkeleyHolidays.com.
The guide features promotions and inspiration from a range of businesses, from items that are gourmet to those that are more home and garden. If you want to buy from a Berkeley business owned by a woman or a minority, you can use the guide to find that, too.
With the virus surging across the nation, state, and region, we all need to limit activities and increase vigilance about COVID-19 safety. Buying gifts online, through curbside pick-up or other safely distanced means from Berkeley merchants is a terrific way to facilitate economic recovery and support community businesses.
