Shop Small This Holiday Season
The Manifest Market Holiday Gift Guide is a curated collection of gifts from small businesses across Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. This holiday season, we’re making it easier to discover unique gifts, shop intentionally, and keep more holiday spending within our local community.
How the Guide Works

Products organized into easy-to-shop gift categories.
📖 100–200 Print Copies
Distributed at Manifest Market partner locations throughout Charlotte beginning November 1.
💻 Digital Guide
An online edition launches one week later so shoppers can browse and shop from anywhere.
