Supporting local businesses in Greenville

By Jenny Sites, publisher of Macaroni Kid Macaroni Kid Fredericksburg-Spotsylvania-Stafford, Va.: December 7, 2020

We have a wide variety of unique businesses in Greenville where you can find great gifts for everyone on your list. Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to gift-giving — unique and thoughtful gifts are the ones they'll remember! Here are some out of the box gift ideas, and Greenville shops, restaurants, and organizations where you can find them:

The gift of time

Sometimes you have people on your list who don't "need" anything — except more time in their day! How can you help them achieve that? Perhaps by gifting them a service that saves them time -- such as housecleaning, yard work, painting, or a car detail. Here are some local Greenville businesses that offer those types of services:

The gift of self-care

Many of us are often so busy we forget to take time to care for ourselves. This has especially been true for parents during COVID who are juggling so much! A gift certificate for a spa treatment, a massage, a pedicure, or a hair appointment might be just the push they need to take a few hours for themselves and recharge. Here are some great spots in Greenville that offer these types of services, along with gift cards for the holidays:

The gift of experience

A gift certificate to a Greenville attraction, a membership to a local Greenville museum for the family, a season pass for kids — experience gifts might come in a small package but might be their favorite holiday gift this season. Plus your purchase will help our local businesses with cash flow during this difficult year. Here are some great experience gift ideas in Greenville:

The gift of food

Who doesn't love a night out to try all the delicious food or treats that Greenville has to offer?  And the best part, you don't have to clean up.  Here are a few great dining options in Greenville:

The gift of local goods

These are some of our favorite local shops that carry unique local gifts.


Our small businesses and organizations in Greenville have had such a difficult year, and there's no better time to support them than now. Small businesses always rely on holiday shopping to help them through -- and this year, that is more important than ever in Greenville!
