50 Small Businesses in the Corridor Where You Can Shop for Christmas Gifts

Small Business Saturday is coming up quick, and you have plenty of options here in the Corridor! We put together a list of locally owned shops that you can visit for your holiday shopping in 2024.

Before we get started, if you don't want to have to wrap a physical gift this year, there are also plenty of local places that offer gift cards for services! There are tons of spas, nail salons, hair salons, tattoo parlors, massage therapists, estheticians, photographers, fitness studios, restaurants, and entertainment venues to choose from. Be sure to keep them in mind!

I asked Eastern Iowans on the Cedar Rapids Area Support Local Group on Facebook what local, small businesses they recommend for Christmas gifts, and there were so many great responses! You can check out the full post HERE, but here 50 of your options in and around the Corridor:

*All stores listed below have brick-and-mortar locations that you can visit, but don't forget about all the local shops online!*
