VIDEO: Steve's Christmas Shopping List

Steve gets a jump-start on his holiday shopping by picking up gifts at small businesses in Malverne and West Hempstead.

This holiday season who needs the malls? Not Steve Strangio, Patch's hilarious travel host, who got a jump-start on his Christmas shopping by visiting some of the small businesses along Hempstead Avenue in Malverne and West Hempstead.

In the time it would take to find a parking spot at the mall, Steve was able to purchase a cute collectible for his aunt (Made in America!), jewels for his lady and other gifts with the hands-on help of our local merchants.

Join him on his first shopping excursion by watching the video above and don't forget to support the local, small merchants in the community this Small Business Saturday - Nov. 26 - and the rest of the holiday season. For more local holiday shopping guides click here.
