Business Buzz: What Holiday Shopping Personality Type Are You?

By December 12, 2023business, General

Sometimes it’s not about WHO you are shopping for as much as HOW you shop during the holiday frenzy. Different personalities have different approaches to the season and this year we want to bring a little humor to our shopping habits, help people feel less isolated in their holiday quirks, and bring a smile or giggle to lighten the load and make it all feel just a bit more manageable—no matter your seasonal superpower or kryptonite.

Share your holiday personality here for the chance to win one of two $500 Grand Ridge Plaza gift cards. The deadline to enter is Dec. 25!
