Want to beat the lines? You can shop local and online. What's better than shopping in your bathrobe while helping out local businesses? Answer: nothing! Well, unless instead of a bathrobe you're wearing a Snuggie and sipping hot cocoa. Here are 10 spots for local online shopping:
Nhmade.com – New Hampshire-made specialty foods, pottery, artwork, candles, gift baskets, books and so much more. The site even has a section for Fido and Fluffy!
Thenewenglandsampler.com – Based out of Manchester, The New England Sampler offers a plethora of gift baskets full of New England goodies.
Caringgifts.com – Concord's own Caring Gifts offers online ordering. The online section hardly does the store justice, so be sure to drop in if you haven't yet for stocking stuffers.
Peterborobasket.com – Handmade baskets of all shapes and sizes from the historic town of Peterborough.
Nhcrafts.org – The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen has an online shop featuring items from New Hampshire's craftiest.
Nhchocolates.com – It's incredibly difficult for us to walk into Granite State Candy Shoppe and not purchase 5 pounds of chocolate for ourselves as soon we smell all the delicious confections. Maintain your diet by ordering chocolates online.
Nhhistory.org – The New Hampshire Historical Society's online museum store. We can't mention it without plugging the bobble heads. Someone's getting a Chief Passaconaway bobble head under the Christmas tree this year!
Shop.currier.org – For the artists and art-lovers in your life, check out Manchester's Currier Museum of Art's online shop.
Hampshirepewter.com – Pewter products ranging from Christmas tree ornaments to serving pieces and tableware.
