Gift Local offers the most! As the list of participating businesses grows, the more options people have to use their Gift Local gift cards. It could be an oil change, haircut, tickets to a local venue, breakfast, lunch, dinner, a treat from a local eatery, jewelry, clothing, house décor, a fun night out, and so much more! Choosing to Gift Local this holiday season is showing pride in our community and supports businesses and families that invest, live, and work here.
Gift Local Digital Gift Cards can only be redeemed at Gift Local Merchants, and as long as there is a balance on the card it can be used in multiple locations. Merchants are members of the DeKalb Chamber who have registered to accept the gift cards. Our easy-to-use website offers a place for Gift Local recipients to check their balance and explore locations where the gift card can be redeemed. Digital gift cards can be bought through the DeKalb Chamber’s Gift Local website which will launch on Nov. 20. Gift Local cards are sent via email, text, or may be printed with a customizable note and can even be scheduled to be sent, so you will never miss an anniversary or birthday again!
Together we can make the choice to keep our money in our community and think local first when shopping.
