Bow Regards

Bow Regards is a fun unique gift shop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The shop is so fun and creative. Just about every item in the store can be personalized which makes the experience personal as well. They have several sections of the store: the baby section is my favorite. Bow Regards is a great Tuscaloosa Local Joint! The staff is great and they take pride in the store and what they sell. You can get your item specially wrapped as well - "The gift wrap is what makes our shop unique! We take pride in making sure the wrapping looks just as cute as the gift that is inside!" So whether you are shopping for a gift, your child, the holidays, your home, or you just want to go snoop around and see what's new - Bow Regards is your place.

Bow Regards was generous enough to give an 'An Elf on the Shelf' for the giveaway. Elf on the shelf is the newest rage with families with kids.

About 'The Local Joint'

Sometimes you can live in a city for years and just find out about a local place that has unbelievable food, clothes, or art, etc. This blog is all about discovering the LOCAL JOINTS that are doing what they do really well. These are the places that you need to know about and shop at. Buying local keeps the money local and helps boost our local economy.

We combine our love for photography and our passion for the local business. We are dedicated to helping local Tuscaloosa/Northport, Al businesses get the word out.

If you know of a local Tuscaloosa business that we should check out or if you are a local business and want to be featured email Eric at bookleephotography@gmail.com

Why Buy Local???

1- Buy Local -- Support yourself: Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms -- continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

2 - Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses.

3 - Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Local = Unique.

4 - Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5 - Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.

6 - Get better service: Unlike most corporate business with chain stores - the local business is geared more on community service and hiring quality workers that care about the customer and the service they provide. Local is where they know your name.

7 - Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.
