The Crafter’s Box Makes DIY Do-able | RUE. 5 Reasons to Buy Local While Traveling - Roaming the Americas. This sponsored post is written in collaboration with Explore Local Box, a new gifting and subscription box service that provides customers an opportunity to explore a different U.S. city each month through local products and food. Most of us would agree: we want our travel destinations to be good communities to visit and live. If we love a place, we want it to be around for a long time. And we want what’s best for the people that live there. I know the term “responsible travel” can come across a bit heavy sometimes (and might conjure up images of visiting the principal’s office in sixth grade), but it’s really just about traveling in a way that helps a destination and doesn’t harm its culture, environment, or economy.
A big part of responsible travel is supporting the local community, helping it to grow and flourish. 5 reasons to buy local while traveling, plus 1 simple way to support small biz in the US! 1. 2.

Have you ever given someone a gift so perfect that you could barely wait for them to open it? Chances are, it had nothing to do with how much you spent and everything to do with how much personality and thought you put into it. Perhaps it played off an inside joke between the two of you, or related to an offhand comment that you filed away in your mind for just the right moment. Whatever the inspiration, you just knew you’d created the perfect gift, and you felt as joyful as a 2nd grader bringing home a hand-made macaroni necklace for Mom.
This is the feeling of delight that I want even the most overscheduled and craft-averse Knack customers to have when they create their meaningful, made-by-you- just-for-them gifts. This is the reason I launched Knack. We’re passionate about discovering those outstanding brands, artisan producers and intriguing stories that turn great gifts into lasting memories. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
