I love to shop in small businesses all year long but on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30, it’s the perfect opportunity to visit that store I haven’t been to in a while and pick up a unique gift for the holidays.
Visit Hendricks County recently launched their annual Top 20 Gift Ideas at small shops across the county. Be sure to browse the popular gift guide or make your own agenda, full of your favorite local spots.
From Copper Top Customs in Clayton to Younique Culture in Plainfield, Hendricks County offers plenty of locally owned stops along the way.
Brownsburg small businesses have been fighting construction for several months so be sure to support them as you can get to places like Ella Mae’s Boutique and Valkyrie’s Vault among others, if you know how.
We’ve been shopping all day, and we’re likely to stop for lunch or dinner but let’s look at those options in a minute. For now, think teacher’s gifts, the special gift for the dog lover in your life, the gamer and more.
Sweet Minis Cakes and Bakes in Brownsburg, The Fudge Kettle in Avon, Paw Street Bakery in Plainfield and Brownsburg’s Brie and Bartlett all offer the perfect (and tasty) gift for someone on your list.
Hendricks County also offers a variety of experiences that can be given as gifts. It always surprises me, the number of people who have not given LumberjAXE in Plainfield a try or Fused Fanatic in Coatesville.
There are plenty of DIY experiences in the area and picking up a gift card for someone or even making the event part of your Small Business Saturday, supports the local business owners.
Yes, a gift card from any one of our locally-owned restaurants would be a great gift but they’re also the go-to after a long day of holiday shopping. Enjoy Best Friends Coffee & Bagels in Brownsburg or the Bread Basket Cafe and Bakery in Danville for breakfast.
There’s Rusted Silo Southern BBQ & Brew House in Lizton and Oasis Diner in Plainfield – all owned by families living and working in Hendricks County.
