Small Business Saturday is the perfect excuse to skip the hustle and bustle, dodge the shipping delays, and pretend you had your holiday shopping planned all along.
Deshundra Jefferson, Chair, Prince William Board of County Supervisors, officially proclaimed Small Business Saturday on November 29 at the November 18 board meeting, highlighting the Department of Economic Development & Tourism:
Since launching small business programing in 2019, our department has helped create more than $63 million in capital for small business owners.
So whether you’re hunting for gifts, planning a cozy day out, or procrastinating everything else on your to-do list, our small business community is ready to help you celebrate local this season.
Because even the strongest shoppers can’t power through on vibes alone. Grab a latte, a croissant, and maybe a gift card for your favorite co-shopaholic.
Gift idea: A restaurant gift card says “I love you…and also I know you’re hungry.”
Nothing says “I’m a great gift-giver,” like something made by real human hands.
Olive oil as a gift = classy.
For the people who say "I don’t need anything," but absolutely need an experience to brag about.
Perfect for the person who deserves to chill.
Perfect for the friend whose love language is throw blankets and aggressively scented candles.
Perfect for a post-shopping wind-down or a “reward” for staying local, and even better as a gift card for someone you forgot to shop for.
No matter where you explore, there are countless ways to shop small this season and throughout the year. To discover even more local businesses, experiences, and destinations, visit Visit Prince William County’s website for guides, listings, and inspiration.
