The beginning of summer felt like a few weeks ago, but now Christmas is only 100 days away. I want to avoid getting caught up in pandemic shipping hassles, so I\u2019m going to get started on my holiday shopping early. Follow me and learn more about why and how you should shop local this year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why is shopping local important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When community members shop locally, there are many advantages that benefit the community and local business members. We build a stronger economy when we keep dollars local and help support future growth. Another great advantage of shopping local is creating a cleaner environment. Studies have shown that when we shop locally it can reduce individual ecological footprints. Also, shopping locally gives you first-hand access to unique and exclusive items that you may not find anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy shopping, especially at novelty stores &#8211; a store that sells unique items or portrays a certain aesthetic that you cannot find anywhere else. Oakville\u2019s BIAs have an abundance of novelty stores, so follow along with me as I check them out and document what makes them so unique.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>First Stop: <a href=\"https:\/\/visitoakville.com\/experience-oakville\/neighbourhoods\/kerr-village\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kerr Village<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/visitoakville.com\/partner\/dove-arrow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dove+Arrow<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3024\" height=\"3008\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15108\" src=\"https:\/\/visitoakville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1.dove_.jpg\" alt=\"Dove + Arrow\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.zarrtech.net\/visitoakville\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1.dove_.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/dev.zarrtech.net\/visitoakville\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1.dove_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dev.zarrtech.net\/visitoakville\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1.dove_-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.zarrtech.net\/visitoakville\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1.dove_-768x764.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.zarrtech.net\/visitoakville\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1.dove_-1086x1080.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dove+ Arrow is a home decor store in the heart of Kerr Village that sells local goods and features DIY workshops and supplies.
