GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - More and more people are on the move and that makes holiday shopping at Gazelle Sports a great choice for those on the go.  They offer unique items or brands designed for kids, teens and adults who love to be active.  There are terrific stocking stuffers including toasty Plug in Socks!  New runner will love the gift of movement in the form of training programs, plus Gazelle has lots of apparel to keep you warm during the chilly Michigan winter from base layers to outerwear.  Another great reason to get to Gazelle is that shopping there is shopping local.  On Small Business Saturday, a campaign created by American Express, consumers are asked to support small, independent businesses the day after Black Friday.   Local First asks consumers here in West Michigan to support locally owned, independent businesses all year long.   By shifting just 10% of consumer spending in Kent County alone, we could create $140 million in new economic activity, 1,600 new jobs and more than $50 million in new wages.  73% more money stays in the community when you support local businesses.  Visit www.localfirst.com for a listing of local businesses in West Michigan and link to the  Local First Online Holiday Auction, another way to support local businesses and finish your holiday shopping in the process.
