We often hear the term “shop local”, but it can be a wonderful way to enjoy your Christmas shopping.
Christmas can be a chaotic time but it can also be a time for taking the opportunity to find gifts that support our local businesses and our creative artisans and authors, and are just a bit different!
There are many opportunities in the Scenic Rim to seek out and support those special shops, Christmas markets and artisan co-operatives that provide a sustainable option to the big shopping centres.
Canungra Books and Art is an example that provides gifts from a few dollars including local handmade artisan items, locally-designed products, local author books for children and adults, quality art and prints, Australian-made products and a comprehensive range of new, contemporary, second-hand, vintage and antiquarian books including some real treasures to be discovered. Plus, vintage and pre-loved designer clothing for all the family, records and more.
So make your Christmas shopping an adventure and seek out the hidden treasures in your local area, and enjoy the personal touch that goes with keeping it local!
