Loving Locals in Lockdown

We’re living in lockdown, and while it means life gets a little slower, we can still maintain the pace with our local businesses. As many close their doors to normal trading for the umpteenth time, here are 6 ways you can help our locals stay afloat (and treat yourself in the process).

1. Take it away

Get your daily caffeine fix or morning tea with takeaway from your favourite local café. To ensure you are in and out as quick as possible, you can order with apps like Skip which let you skip the queue and prepay online. There’s a whole host of our favourites, like Mr Benedict, Citi Café, Clancy’s Food Store, Timber Café, and so many more!

2. Get it delivered

Take a break from cooking and have one of our awesome local eateries deliver right to your door. Why not try Saludos, Fresh Eats, or Yuu Sushi? 

Or treat someone you love to a special gift, like delicious snacks from Monumental Cakes, gorgeous candles from Milkshake Candle, or a fresh bouquet of flowers from Flowers in the Lane or The Real Florist.

3. Vouch for the future

As all hairdressers and beauty salons close their doors fully, you can still show your support by buying a voucher for your next appointment. Many local salons are also selling their beauty products online or via phone, like Fashion Fingers, Basq, The Parlour on Olive, and Bliss.

Or why not choose an AlburyCBD gift card to spend at 70+ local stores? You can purchase one online at Flowers Naturally.

4. Have a virtual consult

Many of our service-based businesses are taking their face-to-face bookings online, so you can still reap the benefits from the comfort of your own home.
