I am trying to do all of my shopping at smaller stores and businesses.  I’ve been scouring Etsy and Kickstarter, looking at local Cleveland businesses, and generally trying to keep my money going into places where I will feel good I spent it there.

Its not easy, but there are tons of options.

In line with my small Christmas ideals this year I am excited to read about a Cleveland Cash Mob.  May have to join some time.
