Buy #Kitsap! 2020 Holiday Gift Guide for Locals

This has been an extraordinary year by any measure.  Our lifestyles all had to make huge adjustments, nearly all of us had to make abrupt pivots to the way we conduct business.  Among those hit hardest with the economic challenges related to COVID-19 restrictions have been small, local businesses.  As we organize our gift giving this year, we wanted to spotlight some local makers who can help you give unique, Kitsap-oriented gifts, while also keeping your dollars very local. 

Our suggestions come in price ranges below, and all products are available for online or phone purchase through the links offered.  (None are affiliate in nature.) Many have gift certificate options as well.

Besides knowing and enjoying some of these products ourselves (ahem, Bainbridge Vineyard . . . ) we've sourced items on this list from the wonderful Shop Kitsap Online Facebook group.  You're encouraged to join too, and branch out from what we've highlighted below.  This is just a starting point - so many folks have really excellent offerings, right here in Kitsap.
