2021 'Shop Listener' Gift Guide

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 20, 2021

Vaccines mean that we can gather more safely for the holidays than last year. But the impacts of the pandemic recession are still very much with us. It's been an especially hard time for small businesses. We know that from the entrepreneurs who called in to tell us how challenging it's been to navigate the supply chain issues plaguing the globe this season.

We also know that the holiday season is a time when a lot of money changes hands. As we wrestle with what to get our loved ones, and to whom we should give our dollars for those gifts, we wanted you to keep in mind your fellow listeners who have been running small businesses through another challenging season.

So, we built a platform for them to digitally shout-out their businesses. Check out the map if you want to shop local, or support a particular neighborhood. And below, there's a searchable database to help you tailor your search by gift type, or by Black, Woman and LGBTQIA+ owned businesses.

Business owners, enter some information here to be included in the next update.

NOTE: The businesses listed were submitted by listeners, and have not been vetted. A listing should not be construed as an endorsement by WNYC or the Brian Lehrer Show.
