Good evening, Salem.

Salem Reporter is inviting locally-owned shops with interesting gifts for the holiday to help us spread the “shop local” spirit in Salem.

Here’s how our 2023 effort turned out: Shopping in Salem – where to go for unique local gifts this season

We will publish a guide to local retailers on Friday, Nov. 29. There is no cost for participation, but here’s what we need from your business:

1. Name, address, hours, phone, website

2. One gift item described + price – 3 sentences or so.

3. If possible, a photo of the gift.

4. Item should be in stock at your store

5. Gift certificates – do you offer them?

To have your item included, send an email to [email protected] by noon Monday, Nov.  25.

So, Salem business owners, tell shoppers: What have you got?

Here's some of today's news. You can read all our latest coverage anytime on our website.
