Shop Local Online this Holiday Season
Shopping from the comfort of your couch might be extra appealing this year and we totally get it. Who wouldn't want to stay put in PJs by the warm crackling fire, glass of vino in hand, while just a few mouse clicks complete your shopping to-do list? Seriously, we understand. That being said, shopping online doesn't mean you have to turn to the big box stores and online hubs for seasonal goodies. Several of Oxford's local makers, artisans and boutiques are offering online shopping this year so you can access the convenience of online purchases while still supporting local. Win-win! Read on for the shops offering up the online goodness below.
