This year, community and small businesses are more important than ever. Here at Firehouse Workspace, we wanted to make it easier for you to celebrate by buying local, so we created this gift guide to point you in the right direction. We listed 10 of our favorites, followed by a few runners-up, and then more local gift ideas. Most of these businesses are willing to do curbside pickup, even if you can't come in their store. Some only do shipping, which might work pretty well if the recipient doesn't live nearby! Have a local business to add to this list? Email hello@firehouseandcityhall.com

For your kids' stockings: Olive & June's Candy Club jars

For the Coffee Lover: Fresh roasted beans from Blackwater Coffee, plus a cool Campfire Mug
Blackwater will ground the beans for you, if desired. Personally, I like the ritual of grinding my own beans every morning.
