As we get closer to Christmas and all that gift giving, many Americans are becoming more concerned with "buying American." In Bluffton, buying American comes easy. There is an e-mail out in cyberspace that says gift certificates to small businesses are a good way to buy locally.
Everyone gets their hair done or needs their oil changed. Who doesn't like a night out to eat or see a movie? We could all use more time at the Gym (BFR) or if money is really tight, a certificate to the grocery store or gas station would be appreciated.
In Bluffton, you can also find lots of things made here and the money stays here. The Senior Center has homemade peanut brittle, lots of handmade one of a kind locally made craft items and decks of cards with historic pictures of Bluffton that were printed in the US.
Other stores in Bluffton offer Bluffton-made products like the Bluffton slaw cutters, craft items or baked goods.
Nov. 26 is the Blaze of Lights but it is also Small Business Saturday. So come out and do you Christmas Shopping in Bluffton, a town full of Small Business that would appreciate you support.
