The holiday season is upon us! Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away and Christmas and Hanukah will be here before you know it. We would like to challenge all Currituck residents to buy locally this season.
Here are some Buy Local Currituck ideas to help make your holidays a little less stressful…
Why Buy Local
• Shop locally for all your food and cooking needs: Local markets likeMorris Farm Market and Powell’s Roadside Market have local foods plus jams, jellies, homemade pies, breads, ales, and many items to make your cooking easier and lots of great gift ideas as well!
• Need ideas for decorating? Check out the selection of home and holiday decor at Carolina Christmas Shoppe & Patio Furniture, Coastal Accents,the Cotton Gin and Ambrose Furniture.
• Buy unique, thoughtful gifts for friends and family from some of our local shops. Need a gift for your office party? While we all enjoy the occasional bottle of spirits, why not try something different this year and bring a wonderful, unique gift from Beach Bums ...
... or Country Charm which will certainly be fought for and cherished during your White Elephant office party.
• Have a sportsman or hunter on your list? Currituck Sports has great sportswear as well as supplies that are perfect for the outdoorsman.
• Cater your holiday event – there are great restaurants that have catering deals going on right now! BJ’s Carolina Café, Currituck BBQ, and Saltydawg Smokehouse just to name a few. Why not try a 12 layer cake from Cindy’s Kitchen? Yummy!
• Feeling a little non-traditional this season? Try take out! Bring home some fresh seafood from Frog Island, Mexican from El Potrillo or even Chinese from Mr. Lu! Make this a memorable non-traditional holiday altogether, or just add some whacky additions to the traditional meal.
• Dine in local restaurants. Just relax and let someone else do the cooking for a change this year. There are so many choices! Have a relaxing dinner at Coinjock Marina or Crabbie’s, Southland or the Weeping Radish… Go someplace that you’ve never tried. You may find a new favorite!
• Give a gift certificate for your favorite local restaurant or shop. Your neighbors and friends will love your thoughtfulness!
• Take a mini vacation and really enjoy your family! Stay in a vacation rental home or hotel in Corolla… the rates are great and the weather is still nice. Enjoy the beach! Relax!
• Attend local events! Have some fun with the family! There are many local events going on every weekend. Go to a festival like Silver Bells, a parade or the Currituck tree lighting ceremony.
