Inspiration for shopping locally this holiday season in our annual holiday gift guide
Even considering shipping delays, there’s no debating the convenience of Amazon, but what’s more important in a Christmas gift: that it be easy, or that it be good? Ok, fair enough – maybe there are some people who you just want to check off your list and move along from, but for all those people you actually love, there’s no better bet than browsing the borough. You’ll find great ideas, amazing ideas, and you’ll be supporting the small businesses that make West Chester the thriving downtown that it is today. While the options are nearly limitless, and there are far more stores than we’ve managed to include (you can get a fuller picture here), we hope this holiday gift guide serves as inspiration for all your giving this season.
