On the final day of Icon Christmas
The Icon scrunched the 12 Days of Christmas into the 5 Icon Days of Christmas, in honor of those last-minute shoppers who want to shop local. Here's three ideas, plus one bonus idea, for the final Icon Day of Christmas.
Boutique 415, 415 N. Main St.
Boutique 415 offers two local artists' works for shoppers looking for Bluffton-made Christmas gifts.
• Eric Rayle of Beaver Street Wood Turning creates crafted wooden bowels, ring holders, vases and ornaments.
• Jenny Frankart, of Rustic Bendz creates unique handmade spoon jewelry.
The shop also has gift certificates, and a holiday special offer at both Boutique 415 and Polished includes the following: • Spend $50 get $10 free • Spend $75 get $15 free • Spend $125 get $25 free
The Food Store, 103 S. Main St.
Want to add some eats under the tree? Try homemade jams and jellies from Belle Center, maple syrup from Probst Family Farm, Bluffton, Barger Brand Honey from Carey, eggs from Little Riley Creek Farm, meat from Luginbill Farms, Pandora, and local milk from Knueven Creamery, Leipsic.
Twisted Whisk, 101 S. Main St.
You can have your coffee in a Twisted Whisk mug and drink it, too. You’ll find Twisted Whisk mugs, coffee travel tumblers, gift certificates in any amount, and new this year gift baskets from $10 and up. You may build your own basket, if interested.
BONUS - Gift certificates - first, remember that many Bluffton businesses – don't forget your favorite Bluffton restaurant – offer their own gift certificates.
