Love local this Christmas

Are you still looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Why not buy the Argyll and Bute gift card and help support local businesses and jobs.

With over 300 businesses to choose from, the gift card is versatile and can be used in several ways. From bespoke gifts to local producers, and experience days to essential food and clothing supplies. It works just the same as a gift voucher and is available to use across a range of businesses in Argyll and Bute, including shops, cafes, supermarkets, days out and unique experiences.

You can buy the gift card online at Town and City Gift Cards where you’ll also find a list of businesses that accept the card as payment. The card is also available to buy in-store at Keeping It Local CIC, 15-17 Main Street, Campbeltown, at Lochgilphead Post Office, 5 Union St, Lochgilphead, or at ReStyle, 100 Montague Street, Rothesay, PA20 0HJ.

The council’s Policy Lead for Business Development, Councillor Math Campbell-Sturgess said: “Local businesses are vital to our communities. They create jobs, which can help reduce unemployment and improve economic stability, and offer unique products that aren’t necessarily available elsewhere. The money spent in local businesses also stays in the local economy.

“Local businesses also create a sense of community and bring people together, so we must do what we can to support them, even more so during the quieter winter months. The Argyll and Bute Gift Card is an excellent way to do this and, with over 300 businesses to choose from, the lucky recipient won’t be short of choices for where to spend it.”
