Patch's Last-Minute Shopping Guide

Did you wait until the last minute? Shop local for your holiday presents.

 

If you waited until the last minute, that's ok. Use our handy holiday shopping guide to guide yourself through the hectic holiday time.

Check out Guide to Affordable Gifts for some great presents under $10.

Our local librarian also has some tips for last-minute gift-buying (hint: books) and Sustainable Fairfax has some eco-tips for gift-giving.

And, if you're just determined to join the masses rushing to shop, make sure to hit up our local stores instead of driving to the mall. Our Businesses of the Week are a great place to start looking or use our business directory to find just the right place.
