How to holiday shop local in NWA

💡 This fits virtually any budget, as you can choose from the many great inexpensive eats around here or pick somewhere splurgy. It's also a way to give an individual, couple or family a night out and a new experience. Peruse spots we've been.

🍦 Pro tip: It doesn't have to be a meal. Gift cards for ice cream parlors, coffee shops or breweries stretch far and make good stocking stuffers.

📚 Buy a book from a local bookstore.

• Try Pearl's Books, Más Libritos Bookstore, Underbrush Books or Two Friends Books.

🍫 Get them some NWA treats. Try:

☕️ Coffee beans from Airship Coffee, Arsaga's or Onyx Coffee Lab

🍿 Popcorn from Hill City Popcorn Co.

🍫 Chocolate from Kyya Chocolate or Markham & Fitz or macarons from Alchemy Macarons

🫖 Tea from Savoy Tea Co.

🍪 Cookies from Rick's Bakery

🧀 Goodie baskets from Noble Graze

🍸 A cocktail kit from Pink House Alchemy plus a bottle of liquor from Fox Trail Distillery

🍷 Wine from Sassafras Springs Vineyard and Winery or Tontitown Winery

🖼 Support local artists and craftspeople by buying locally made goods.

🎨 Check out art galleries and watch for markets like the Winter Market of NWA on Friday in Bentonville or Community Creative Center's market from Dec. 1-21.
