Buy Michigan Now, a campaign promoting the buy local movement, is celebrating its anniversary with a gift guide and a local twist.
Buy Michigan Now, a campaign designed to
promote and restore Michigan's economy, is celebrating its two-year
anniversary with the release of a 2009 Holiday Gift Guide.
The movement is encouraging residents to buy gifts and food that
will help support the local economy. The third annual Holiday Gift
Guide is downloadable from the homepage at www.BuyMichiganNow.com.
The Holiday Gift Guide features 101 unique gift ideas from a wide
variety of companies around the state of Michigan. It is divided into
27 categories with specific gift suggestions in each, along with links
to see and purchase them. Links to each company's website are also
provided so that users can learn more about entire product lines,
nearby retailers, and the companies themselves.
According to campaign founder Lisa Diggs, "We make specific item
suggestions, but also hope that calling attention to these great
Michigan companies will help people identify other Michigan gift ideas
of their own."
