This holiday season, I'm trying to highlight local businesses in Boston! A lot of these businesses have online ordering and shipping/delivery for their products so you can #shoplocal and give some amazing gifts to friends and family! And even if they don't sell products, consider purchasing gift cards to your favorite local businesses and restaurants as well to support them! Macarons from Maca
