The holiday season is the perfect time to find meaningful gifts while supporting your community. If you live in Lexington or nearby, the 2025 Shop Small Sweepstakes offers a fun and rewarding way to do both. By spending at least $10 at five or more participating downtown merchants, including Center of Gravity, you can collect stickers that enter you into a drawing for exciting prizes. The grand prize is $750 worth of Lexington Gift Certificates, perfect for holiday gifts or treating yourself.
This event encourages shoppers to explore local stores, discover unique items, and contribute to the success of small businesses.
How We Fit In
Center of Gravity is proud to be part of the Shop Small Sweepstakes. Besides purchasing a class pass during this timeframe, you could also purchase one of our logo shirts or hoodies, a new set of yoga blocks, a yoga towel, an eco-friendly rubber Manduka yoga mat, or a gift certificate to grab a sticker.
How the Shop Small Sweepstakes Works
The sweepstakes is simple and designed to reward shoppers who support local merchants. Here’s how you can participate:
Visit participating downtown Lexington stores, including Center of Gravity to get a free card.
Spend at least $10 in a single transaction.
Receive a sticker from the merchant to place on your sweepstakes card.
Collect stickers from multiple stores to increase your chances of winning. Collect at least 5 stickers for an entry.
Submit your card by 5 pm on December 20th to the Main Street Lexington office or Ladels and Linens store for a chance to win prizes.
Each five stickers represents a chance to win, so the more you shop small, the better your odds. This approach not only boosts local businesses but also encourages shoppers to explore different shops and find unique holiday gifts.
Why Shop Small Matters in Lexington
Shopping small has a direct impact on Lexington’s economy and community. When you buy from local merchants:
More money stays in the community, supporting local jobs and services.
Unique products and personalized service are more accessible.
The character and charm of downtown Lexington is preserved.
Small businesses often give back through local events and sponsorships.
Supporting small businesses during the holiday season helps them thrive year-round. It also creates a stronger, more connected community where neighbors know and support each other.
