Last Thursday I got everything I needed at the Salem (indoor) Winter Market at Artists' Row, to fill a scrumptious holiday gift basket: locally made jams, preserves, honey, sausage, cheeses, herbal teas. There are also goodies for holiday tables (local squash, turnips, carrots, salad greens, mushrooms, beef, and lobster, plus prepared foods like pickles, salsa, cookies, gingerbread, pies, etc.) and holiday greenery. The final week is Thur. Dec. 22, 2 - 6 pm. Support local farmers as you wow giftees, guests -- and yourselves!

I can safely say that you can purchase everything needed for holiday gifts within the city and in small businesses. It feels great to give back to the community that makes this city so wonderful.

I love Christmas shopping in downtown. I recommend it to many friends. It is great to do shopping on foot in the fresh air. PEM Gift Shop, Picklepot, Treasures in Time, and the small shops on Front Street to name a few of the stores I enjoy. Have successfully avoided the big malls for years.
