So @NatsCR said she wants to promote local suppliers and @faadajoe said he wants people off the beaten path. Then @VellusAurelius said lets use #TwitterMarketJa as a hashtag. I decided to share where I will be shopping for Christmas, I am trying to do local as much as possible.

Probably one of my favourites, https://www.instagram.com/peaceisofbianca/, does really beautiful jewellery at a variety of price points. I will also be buying myself something from her because I have been very, very good this year,

I am planning on going to @LikkleTea for a couple of things, this has been such a stressful year and I absolutely know this will be appreciated.

While at Devon House, I will hit https://www.instagram.com/thecommissaryja/ to get some fine food things, probably do a bundle of items depending on the person.

On Dec 5th , David Pinto will have his open house. I have something for my mom in mind but he has things like coffee mugs that I can combine with other things. Find him here: https://www.instagram.com/pintopottery/ 

For the last couple of Christmases, I have gone to https://morganscreek.com/  to get gifts. Ideal when someone shows up at your house unexpected!!!!

Candles also a perfect gift to carry in your hand for those small gatherings. I haven't bought here before but I heard nothing but good things about https://www.instagram.com/lauraalexiscandles/?hl=en

And I planned to buy some local rums for menfolk, not just Appleton but some of the more obscure ones. I was planning to check out https://www.instagram.com/jamaicaliquorwarehouse/. Will time it with Taco Tuesday and have a margarita as well.

Also going to get something from @Baughaus, they are doing these cute trinket bowls. I also need one for myself.

I have a friend that I think deserves a pick me up and I think something from https://www.instagram.com/jaejolly/?hl=en  would be perfect,

I wanted something from Exquisite Wicker for my house, check them out here: https://www.instagram.com/exquisitewicker/?hl=en

And @AyannaCurated said she was doing illustrations of group of friends as well. I thought that was nice as a personalised gift.

I also said I would hit Craft Cottage and Fontana's to support local suppliers. Yeah, it's a long list and money tight but one thing 2020 has taught me is that friendships are important and life is TOO short. I can go back to grinching next year.
