Go Big, Shop Small By Susan Salaz
Deck your halls close to home this holiday season by keeping your shopping in the community. Our favorite retailers are working hard to make the season merry and bright with custom gifts and personalized service you won’t find anywhere else.
Wine might be the best part about staying home for the holidays, and it’s even better when it’s local. Sugar Creek Vineyard and Winery in Carmel has instant holiday cheer bottled and ready to go for you and everyone on your list.
Visit the corner of 56th and Illinois, where Charles Mayer & Co. features an enchanting selection of beautiful gifts for every occasion. Claudia Ryan offers online shopping, curbside service, and private “sip and shop” events by reservation during the holiday season.
Purse Strings is clutch this time of year. This family owned, specialty shop in Clay Terrace and at the Fashion Mall features brands like Alex and Ani, Hobo, and Vera Bradley. Tie up your shopping with a bow online, curbside or in-store.
Even without the hustle and bustle of Christmas past, shopping can be overwhelming, but gift cards never go wrong. A gift card to VERDE Flavors of Mexico in Carmel, Ironworks and Fishers is a delicious treat everyone will love find under the tree.
