The holidays are inching closer and closer.

And the mad dash to buy Christmas gifts started earlier than ever this year.

Across the globe, supply chain issues are continuing to have a slowing affect on when and if presents ordered online will make it in time.

On Good Morning Acadiana, we’re hoping we’ve found a solution to the problem.

Every week, the GMA team will offer unique, local gift ideas from different spots in Acadiana.

On November 11, Abby Breidenbach was in Jeff Davis Parish with suggestions on how to support local businesses and be guaranteed to leave with a gift or several, for the holiday season.
