With the holiday season upon us, gift shopping offers an opportunity to do more than check names off a list. By choosing products made close to home, gift giving can support local entrepreneurs, strengthen small businesses and help keep dollars circulating in the communities we care about most. And by investing in the people and places that make our state unique, every purchase makes an impact.
In part two of our North Dakota holiday gift guide, North Dakota Living has once again partnered with Pride of Dakota to highlight the local businesses growing, producing and creating products your loved ones will love. On every product, find the Pride of Dakota label, the brand that certifies each gift is made in North Dakota and celebrates the best our state has to offer. More than 500 member companies proudly wear the label. Find more, along with an upcoming holiday showcase, at prideofdakota.nd.gov.
