It’s that time of year – time to shovel snow and… pick out those perfect Leelanau-flavored gifts for your family and friends who love to visit the area. Here’s a handful of fun and fresh gift ideas for your list!
Baabaazuzu in Lake Leelanau is the queen of unique gifts – check out their “One of a Kind” wool mittens which are literally ONE of a kind. Each mitten pair is different in the pair, making for fun and playful looks. They also sell mittens that match – how novel! They are known for using upcycled repurposed wool.
Cherry Anne Boutique in Lake Leelanau just turned one and is full of women’s apparel (think cozy sweaters and holiday dresses) and lots of kitschy Lake Leelanau goodies too. If Lake Leelanau is your (or your family’s) happy place, check out their new winter inventory.
Poppy Things in Suttons Bay is a local fav. Check out their colorful socks and other gift items that have that “up north” vibe! Like this pine cone pillow (takes you back outdoors while the snow falls outside!) and this conversation-inducing glass with a handblown snowman inside!
Anything with the M22 logo on it is sure to be a hit with those who love the area. The M22 Beach Day puzzle is perfect for the grannies (and grannies at heart) on your list.
The classic M22 zip hoodie comes in all kinds of colors, including this wild and fun pink.
Or check out their new line “Paradise” sweatshirts and gear. This features the coast line and M22 tucked into the scene. A perfect fresh choice for someone who already has traditional M22 logo wear.
M22 has locations in Traverse City, Glen Arbor and Suttons Bay, fyi!
Bayside Gallery in Suttons Bay is another shop with local treasures and endless unique ideas. Check out this Suttons Bay 3”x9” wooden coordinates sign – a perfect way to remember a special location for your family.
For more map fun, consider this scarf made out of an antique map of Michigan. Perfect for a lady who knows her way around town!
Bayside is mostly known for its whimsical and colorful outdoor décor and accessories. For the bird lover (or rock hound) on your list, consider this birdhouse made of Charlevoix Stone!
These cute ceramic trees from The Painted Bird in Suttons Bay make for a cute hostess gift for your holiday celebrations.
The Painted Bird is loaded with local creations that are stunning, like this new piece of artwork by MarySue Ryan, a Northern Michigan artist.
Now, as the snow continues to fall, we hope you’ll find time to visit the local shops and put a little bit of “home” into everyone’s stockings!
