The Post Office is packed this time of year, and Christmas cards in the mail are one of my favorite parts of the holiday. Supporting the community is something I’m passionate on, and shopping local for your Christmas list is a great idea! I have compiled a list of some great stores and businesses to check out – and some specific items for those you love!
- Eli’s Coffee – Give the gift of a bag of their coffee – a great stocking stuffer, and smells great at that!
- East to West Studio – This local graphic design studio has coffee mugs that are not only for any women in your life, but go perfect with each season. (also featured in the above photo).
- The Confectionery – Located in Morton, this bakery is PERFECT for all of your baked goodies for Christmas gatherings.
- Hello Headband – More perfect stocking stuffers – these handmade headbands are a hit for everyone!
- Leaves ‘n’ Beans – A gift card to this wonderful coffee shop is always a lovely present for teachers, the mailman, and anyone else!
- Lulu’s – Located on Main Street in Morton, this store has tons of goodies for gifts – including gifts that support our community.
