Fig's Guide to Lehigh Valley Holiday Shopping

Small Businesses are the Heart of Lehigh Valley. 

We need them, and they need us, too. Our local businesses have worked hard to overcome tremendous odds this year. They’ve put procedures in place and created new ways for you to shop safely. They’ve gotten creative and found new ways to do business while providing you with the service and quality you so value—the kind you can only get by shopping small. Then either visit safely in person or shop online this holiday season. However you do it, now is the time to show the local businesses of Lehigh Valley that you care.

Below are a few highlights from "Wrapped in Love" Retail Gift Guide in Fig Bethlehem.

Susan Bella Jewelry

Shopping local has never been this fun (or easy!) Owner Susan Linski has taken her single standing store to a new level while providing a safe environment in which to shop. Susan and her team can serve you in several ways: appointments, walk-ins, Zoom consultations, phone, email, texting, and now, online shopping in time for the holidays! The fan-favorite, though, is Susan’s live Facebook “Happy Hour Shopping” show Thursdays at 6 pm, which she hosts with her husband, Dan. Her viewers are of course local, but she has gained quite a following across the country! A natural at showing, explaining, and wearing jewelry, Susan’s style is informative and fun. Her diverse selection goes from chic to classic, exquisite to everyday... with something for every taste. Like the items pictured above, her inventory boasts a mix of fine and fun jewelry in every price range (items above start at just $75).
