Something for everyone awaits with a "made-in-the-D" stamp of approval, perhaps straight from Saint Nick himself way Up North! Ho Ho Ho-ly Night, 'tis the season for a Christmas miracle - holiday shopping made easy, right here in the heart of Detroit!
Give the Gift of Detroit this Holiday Season. We’ve Got You Covered!
Starting with warmth all winter long. Is there a draft in here, or is just the coolness of the D?
Bundle up with the beloved brand, Carhartt, founded in 1889 right here in Detroit. Known for delivering the highest quality, heavy-duty workwear with dual-purpose, cozy vibes aplenty, Carhartt is the go-to for everything durable, from jackets to coveralls, hunting apparel, hats, coats, vests, shirts, jeans, and even fire-resistant clothing. Simply put, Carhartt makes bundling up worthwhile. The fits are fashionable and comfy for all who wear the Detroit-made brand built for winter and beyond with intense durability for even the sweetest little busy bees around.
Holiday Market Full of Joy
When you need to deck the halls and stuff the stockings, there is no greater place to start than Eastern Market’s Holiday Market. Find everything you need for everyone you love, including those extra special items to decorate your home for the holidays. The best part of shopping at the Holiday Market is you’ll be supporting unique, local Detroit vendors like Charity X Designs and Epyon Royal.
Pro tip: Bring a nice big, empty tote bag for easy carrying of all the goodies you’ll gather at Eastern Market. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how quickly they stack up (and how glad you’ll be for having remembered to bring that empty tote)!
Give the Gift of Music in Motown
Music is the heartbeat of the Motor City. Detroit is where Motown came to be a sound still synonymous with the D. So, it makes perfect sense to visit one of the many record shops, or better yet, the Motown Museum itself, for the perfect gift that will make someone sing.
Give the Gift of Jazz
If you know someone on your list loves a live experience over a physical gift, consider presenting them with a gift card to visit Cliff Bell’s. Once you go once, you will be planning your return to this magically iconic, live jazz club in Detroit.
Sincerely Detroit Gift Stores
Some things we see and say and love are just so signature Detroit, and sister stores City Bird
and Nest know a thing or two about nailing it. Located in the Cass Corridor in Midtown, Detroit, find everything that will have you saying, “That’s so Detroit.” This makes it impossible not to love the selection of heartfelt gifts on offer at these sister stores.
Delight Them with Something Delicious
If someone on your list is a sucker for something super sweet, Bon Bon Bon is a treat of a gift. As the website says, order by 12/15 for it to arrive before Christmas. This can be as nostalgic as it is memorable as it is truly delicious - all the things that check the boxes on unique, thoughtful presents. These gourmet, artful sweets will have someone knowing you love them a whole lot!
Timelessly Dignified Detroit Gifts
Not many names speak to the height of Detroit as elegantly as Shinola. The luxury lifestyle brand produces and sells gorgeous watches, bicycles, leather goods, clocks, home goods, and jewelry. Say the name, and heads will turn - it’s a Detroit thing. Giving a gift with the stamp of Detroit is done well with utmost respect when it’s Shinola. This is the gift of Detroit love - timeless, enduring, sophisticated, dignified, elegant - Shinola, based right here in Detroit.
A Splash of Colorful Creativity
When the days go gray on us until May, it can be all too easy to fall into a winter slump. Giving someone special a splash of colorful creativity can be a wonderfully timed and treasured gift. Detroit Dye House - home of brightlytwisted will provide an array of sunny delights along with the literal hands-on option of an in-house tie-dye activity. Who on your list would perk up at the thought of something so fun as this unique Detroit offering?
At Last, With Love, the Lions
We all have someone on our list who cannot get enough of the Detroit Lions no matter what. This year, we are all that someone. Lucky for us, everywhere from Eastern Market mentioned earlier (and pictured here) to All Things Marketplace and loads more local shops in between feature phenomenal Detroit Lions swag perfect for gifting everyone this holiday season.
Happy holidays with love from Detroit!
