It’s the most, wonderful time of the year! It’s time for the second annual Old Brick Holiday Shopping Guide! With supply-chain disruptions and shortages, we know holiday shopping is strange this year, and we want to make it as stress-free as possible. We’ve rounded up some gifts you can find at Old Brick stores (and online!), others you can find within the communities we’re apart of! We’ve picked some of our FAVES – when you shop, let them know Old Brick sent you! ;)
Firstly, let’s shop around at Old Brick and see what we could possibly have for gifts! While we know not everyone is gifting leather sectionals this year, we do have quite a few smaller items that are perfect for gift giving! From décor + accessories, to pillows + recliners – we’ve got (in-stock) gifts for nearly everyone on your list. Feast your eyes on our Holiday Shopping page to start your holiday shopping adventure!
Old Brick Holiday Shopping Guide
Okay, we understand you may not want to buy ALL of your gifts from Old Brick (however, we certainly wouldn’t tell you not to!). We’ve rounded up 8 local small businesses for you to support. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten that we’ve merged with Bennington Furniture – we didn’t forget about our friends in VT + MA. We have local ideas for you too! Be sure to follow their social media accounts to support them year-round!
