As the 2025 holiday season draws near, there’s something extra special about finding gifts that come from the heart of our own community. This year’s Holiday Gift Guide celebrates the joy of shopping local with a thoughtfully curated collection of treasures from the makers, dreamers, and doers who call our region home. From handcrafted pieces infused with creativity to handpicked favorites from beloved local shops, every item tells a story worth sharing. When you give local, you give twice—spreading cheer to those you love while supporting the small businesses that keep our community vibrant all year long. Let’s make this holiday season one to remember by choosing gifts that give back, right here at home.
