Let's Make Shopping Local Easier This Holiday Season

The Connecticut Gift Guide is designed to put local businesses, makers, shops, restaurants, experiences, and other gift-worthy Connecticut finds in one easy place for holiday shoppers.

Your submission doesn't just add your business to the guide. A portion of submission revenue will help fund social media advertising for the 2026 Connecticut Gift Guide, creating a collective promotional effort designed to bring more shoppers to the guide and the Connecticut businesses featured in it.

The guide will be part of It's Local Online, helping shoppers continue discovering Connecticut businesses beyond the holiday season.
