New for 2024 is the Good Manners Gift Guide: Local Edition! Today I’m sharing three bonus gift guides designed to help you check off the last of your holiday shopping. All products featured can be found in store and online from three of my favorite Ann Arbor, Michigan based boutiques!
Today’ Featured Boutiques:
As easy as it is to shop online at big retailers with fast shipping, nothing compares to the magic of taking an afternoon to stroll around the streets of a cute downtown, popping into the stores and discovering the perfect gift.
Recently, I made time to do just that and spent a wonderful afternoon walking around Ann Arbor, Michigan. It’s one of my favorite downtowns to visit and while I did live there for a few years, it’s still just a short drive away.
There is so much to do in downtown Ann Arbor, but I must admit that I’m partial to an afternoon of shopping and enjoying lunch (have you tried Toastique!?) or a hot coffee along the way.
The three boutiques featured today are not only local, but also woman owned - and owned by the sweetest, most amazing women around! The best part - you don’t have to be local to Ann Arbor to support these incredible businesses. Each one has an online store, so you can get unique gifts shipped to you no matter where you are in the US.
