Holiday Gift Guide: Erie Small Businesses Pt. 2

I am down to the wire with my holiday shopping this year. Between getting married at the beginning of the month followed by getting sick, holiday shopping took a back seat. Luckily, I am feeling much better and ready to take on the holiday bustle. 

For anyone else who might still be shopping, here are some great local stores located all in the same plaza. One-stop shopping, please. I stopped by a few of these stores today and found beautiful gifts. Most stores will also wrap the gifts for you, making the holidays even easier!

Buona Cucina Oils. I had Buona on my shopping list for some time. As soon as I discovered this shop, I knew exactly who would love their oils and bottles of vinegar. They even packed everything into a beautiful box with recipes. There was a small charge, but it was worth every penny. How beautiful is the box above? I am very excited to give this gift!

Pressed. Pressed is the best of two worlds: coffee and books. I picked up a gift card today for a friend. Pressed also sells great stocking stuffers. I saw some local lip balms, art prints, and jewelry. 

Trellis. I had a few people on my list that I wasn't quite sure what to gift. Trellis has such a wonderful selection of home decor, jewelry, and even apparel. I knew I would be able to find something great. I left with two gorgeous gifts that were beautifully wrapped up at no extra charge.

Romolo's. This one could seem like a no-brainer, but sometimes we tend to overthink gifting. At least, I do. Who doesn't love delicious, local chocolate? Romolo's had an incredible variety of sweets and lovely premade gifts. 

PopLuck. When shopping in the Greengarden Place plaza, the buttery scent of fresh-popped corn was wafting into the parking lot and I couldn't resist grabbing a bag (or two) of popcorn. I grabbed two bags to take home for our Christmas Eve gathering. 

If you are an Erieite, I hope this local gift guide helps! Happy shopping and happy holiday!
