urating The Scout Guide holiday gift guide has become a favorite annual tradition here at TSG Headquarters. Any endeavor that involves encouraging people to explore the wonderful local businesses throughout the TSG network is energizing; add the excitement of the holiday season and you have an endl essly fun—and fulfilling—project. The process of putting together the gift guide c o m b i n e s e v e r y t h i n g w e l o v e a b o u t w h a t w e d o . It’s a chance to discover the unique, the special, the one-of-a-kind, and to talk to the people who hand-selected the items to carry in their stores or created the works of art and find out what their favorite pieces are, what they’re passionate about. It’s a chance to learn, to make a personal connection, and to be inspired. We hope you enjoy this, our third TSG holiday gift guid e, which highlights some of our favorite offerings from throughout the network—48 cities (and counting!) spanning from coast to coast, and we send our warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season filled with the best of local.
