HOW TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Metro Creative Newspaper Service & Graphics

T

he holiday season is an important one for small businesses every year, and it figures to take on heightened importance in 2020. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 in late 2019 and early 2020 hit small businesses especially hard, with many being forced to close their facilities to customers in an effort to prevent the virus from spreading. Estimates regarding the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on small businesses varied, but many small business owners were forced to let go employees as they confronted steep declines in revenue. A ZenBusiness survey of more than 1,000 small business founders, senior managers and decision makers found that 37 percent of small businesses that employ between 11 and 25 people were considering laying off more than one-fifth of their workforce. As small businesses face difficult challenges, it’s no surprise that many consumers want to support locally

owned small businesses this holiday season. Such support not only can help small businesses, but also can help to revitalize local communities. • Shop online. Online shopping has traditionally been dominated by big box retailers. However, many small businesses increased their e-commerce capabilities to generate revenue. Shoppers concerned about shopping in person this holiday season should explore the delivery and curbside pickup options available at locally owned small businesses. Even businesses that have not traditionally been allowed to deliver, such as breweries and wineries, have been able to do so during the outbreak, giving consumers unlimited online shopping options. • Purchase gift cards. Gift cards take the guesswork out of holiday shopping, and such cards are easily shipped or even emailed to loved ones. That’s a significant benefit during the 2020 holiday season, when delivery times are

expected to be lengthy. Gift cards to local businesses simplify holiday shopping, support small businesses and help shoppers avoid potential delivery delays. • Share your experience. Word-ofmouth is vital to small businesses at any time, and can be especially valuable as these companies try to overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak. Holiday shoppers can share their experiences with local businesses via social media. Share information about the lengths local small businesses have gone to in regard to safety measures, order fulfillment and their delivery and pickup efforts. Such sharing may compel neighbors and friends to follow your lead and provide vital support to local businesses in need this holiday season. Small businesses are the backbone of many communities, and the holiday season provides a great opportunity to support such firms as they look to recover from a difficult year.

HOLIDAY GIFTS TO SPARK HOME IMPROVEMENT IDEAS Metro Creative Newspaper Service & Graphics

P

eople have spent more time at home in 2020 than they likely have in years past. This has provided homeowners with plenty of time to ponder potential upgrades to their homes. After taking inventory of their lifestyles, surroundings and furnishings, people have embarked on construction projects or home interior design renovations in record numbers. Holiday gifts that cater to projects around the house are likely to be highly valued this holiday season. Here are some ideas for home improvement-related gifts. • Home improvement retailer gift card: Home improvement centers are one-stop shopping for do-ityourselfers. To help offset the cost

of supplies, gift-givers can give a gift card to a neighborhood hardware store. • Magazine subscription: There are plenty of ideas on the internet, but a subscription to a home remodeling or interior design magazine puts inspiration right in homeowners’ hands. Pages can be marked or cut out and used on idea boards. • Tools and supplies: Homeowners just starting out may benefit from the basics. Stores often sell starter tool kits that can be used in home improvement-themed baskets Experienced DIYers may have a special tool in mind that is outside their budget right now, like a chop saw or cordless power drill. Purchasing one of these items can help projects move along more smoothly.

• Expert consultation: Who can’t use a little help with their home remodeling efforts? Give the gift of a consultation from an interior designer or professional contractor to help complete plans that may be a little out of reach for the average DIYer. • Big-ticket item: Some friends and family members may want to pool their resources and offer loved ones an over-the-top gift. This can include a backyard playset for children, a storage shed, a pool installation, or even a new appliance package. Gift ideas are endless and only limited by budget. • Room re-do: All it may take is some new linens or accents to transform a room. From throw pillows to curtains to wall art, give the gift of an easy room makeover.

PEOPLE TO TIP AND GIFT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Metro Creative Newspaper Service & Graphics

A

re you making a list and checking it twice? If so, don’t forget to add a few extra people to that list who are worthy of a gift this holiday season. Certainly friends and family are in mind for presents, but what about the service providers in your life? After a challenging year, people in the service industry might benefit from a holiday boost this year more than ever. Here’s who you may want to spread some cheer to this holiday season. • Hairdressers and nail techs: It takes a lot of effort to look one’s best, and these individuals help people put their best selves forward. Consider tipping the amount you would normally spend on one visit. If you get your hair or nails done frequently and consider this person

a friend, opt for a gift instead, such as a gift card to a nice restaurant or a pampering service for him or her. • Babysitter or caregiver: This person is likely close with the family and may be deserving of more than a tip. Pick an age-appropriate gift you know this person will love. What about a coveted pair of Bluetoothenabled earbuds or headphones? A gift card to a store you know this person frequents also can be fitting, or a year-long subscription to a streaming music or movie service. • Landscapers: If the same person or crew services the lawn most of the time, a tip of $20 each is an appropriate amount. • Teachers: Class parents may take up a collection for the teacher and offer one class gift. If your student is educated by multiple teachers and the school staff is top-notch,

consider stocking the staff lounge with snacks and beverages or cater a lunch. • Mail carrier: The mail is delivered six days of the week in any and all weather. Treat your mail carrier to a nice gift, but stick to the rules of the U.S. Postal Service. Mail carriers are not allowed to accept cash, checks or gift cards that can be used like credit cards. Stick to a gift of no more than $25. • Cleaning person: You rely on this person to keep your home tidy and clean. He or she is deserving of the cost of one visit, according to Roseanne Thomas, author of “Excuse Me: The Survival Guide to Modern Business Etiquette.” Individuals can use their discretion concerning service providers in their lives who may be worthy of some extra cheer this holiday season.

FOR THE CRAFT BEER LOVER

C

Green Shoot Media

raft beer has found a unique niche in the American alcohol industry.

According to the Brewers Association, overall U.S. beer volume sales were down two percent in 2019. However, craft brewer sales obtained a 4% growth, accounting for 13.6% of the entire market. The smaller operations now represent over 25% of the $116 billion American beer industry. If you know an enthusiast who appreciates discovering a new favorite IPA or ale, the holidays are the perfect time to quench their thirst. Check out some excellent ways to drive the craft brew lover further into their passion. DIY Kit There is no better way to gain an understanding of the hard work performed by brewers than doing it yourself. An excellent way to become familiar with the process is to share a DIY kit that includes ingredients to

make someone’s favorite type of brew. Make sure the gift offers thorough instructions so your recipient can gain a stronghold on the task. As your recipient gets better at developing their own drinks, they can choose to experiment with various types of recipes to craft different beers. With time and practice, your gift could lead an enthusiast’s at-home ventures into a full-time career.

doorstep. It’s a gift they will look forward to throughout the year as samples from different brewers arrive for their tasting pleasure. Before investing in a subscription, do your research to find reviews from actual customers. Look for the positive feedback regarding the satisfaction with the provided products and timeliness of delivery.

Subscription Box Sign someone up for a beer-of-themonth subscription box to invite a variety of craft beer right to their

Merchandise Most craft beer makers sell merchandise within the walls of their breweries. However, if your loved one’s favorite brewer is out of town, you should find out if they offer goods online. Discover a creative gift in their shops like custom glasses, bottle openers or attire. Help your enthusiast represent their favorite brand by picking up a few gifts that support a preferred brand.


GIFTS THAT CAN MAKE SOCIAL DISTANCING MORE ENJOYABLE Metro Creative Newspaper Service & Graphics

E

xchanging gifts with loved ones is a holiday season tradition. That tradition figures to continue this year, though families will almost certainly have to adjust the ways they exchange gifts. Families also may want to think outside the box when buying gifts for their loved ones, targeting items that can make social distancing easier. The following gift ideas can make a socially distant holiday season that much more special for a loved one. Streaming subscription Movie theaters have been closed for months in many areas. But movie lovers still want to see their favorite flicks, so a streaming subscription to a service such as Netflix or Amazon Prime can be just what they need to stay entertained while social distancing this winter. For fans of classic films, including indie movies, foreign films and big studio productions, a subscription to the Criterion Channel might make the perfect gift. Curated by the Criterion Collection, this streaming service provides access to a library of more than 1,000 classic and

contemporary films, making it an ideal gift for the family film buff. Cooking classes Many people have spent the last several months honing their culinary skills. Gift givers can help them take those skills to the next level by enrolling them in online cooking classes. The options are endless and some even include access to legendary celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay. Many online cooking classes feature monthly memberships or single classes, making them ideal for loved ones of all skill and interest levels. Technology Technology has helped many people stay connected with friends and family while social distancing, so a new tablet, laptop or desktop computer can be just what people need to fully engage

in family Zoom sessions or weekly virtual happy hours with coworkers and friends. If a new tablet or laptop stretches your budget, consider a pair of noise-canceling headphones, which can make it easier to concentrate while working remotely in a crowded house. Crafting kit Hobbyists may have had their passions for crafting reinvigorated while social distancing, making a crafting kit an ideal gift to help them fill their downtime. Beginner’s kits also can make an ideal gift for novices looking for an engaging, time-consuming hobby. Certain gifts can be a perfect fit during a socially distant holiday season.

FOR THE HOST OR HOSTESS

Greenshoot Media

For many, planning a party is more fun than the actual event. If you know someone who finds every excuse to hold a get together, consider finding a gift that will take the next party to the next level. While it’s typical that they already own the basic items that are efficient in entertaining, here are some ideas that may enhance their gatherings or make planning easier. Serving Dishes Is the person on your list a snack-food aficionado? If so, they will likely benefit from new serving platters. Look for plates that have several sections to separate the variety of offerings. Try to imagine their home’s decor and find a style that blends well with the current scheme. Of course, you should choose items that are dishwasher safe to make cleanup easier for the host or hostess. A full set featuring plates, bowls and glasses can also be a welcome present this holiday. The upgrade in dishware will provide a reminder of your wholesome idea for both get-togethers and their family meals throughout the year.

Sound Systems Music is a common staple at nearly every party. Allow the host or hostess to express themselves with a wireless sound system that can be spread throughout the home. Many units have the frequency to distribute music to speakers arranged in different rooms. When an entire sound system isn’t in your budget, a quality Bluetooth speaker can suffice. Check ratings for a model that connects different smart devices easily, so guests can quickly sync up and play their favorite tunes. Another specification to consider is buying a waterproof unit, especially if the parties feature a swimming pool. Livestream Camera Give your party planner a livestream camera to document epic events and capture memories with their closest friends. These unique gadgets are efficient in obtaining footage and sounds and portraying them to a live audience or recording the party for later viewing. Look for a quality model that boasts a high-definition view and records crystal-clear sound.
