Although Christmas arrives two weeks from yesterday, there’s statistical evidence to show that many of you have not completed (and some have not started) their Christmas shopping.

As you contemplate the best gift for that hard-to-shop-for relative or friend, why not think about something truly unique and coming from one of Richland County’s numerous local retailers and attractions.

This week, Destination Mansfield (click here for a full calendar of local events) shared a guide to those shopping opportunities right here in Mid-Ohio. As those fine folks shared, “We’ve put together a holiday gift guide to all the best experiences, locally made art, crafts, treats, artisanal beverages, and local boutiques to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list!”

The Gift Guide has several ideas in the following categories:

Experience Local: Mid-Ohio Sports Car Club, Mid-Ohio School, Tree Frog Canopy Tours, Snow Trails Bucks Gift Card, Deer Ridge Golf Club and the Discover Richland Membership Bundle

Sip and Savor: The Blueberry Patch Greenhouse Gift Shop and the Wine and Ale Trail stops

Boutique Unique: Main Street Books, B.E. Humble, Let it Shine Gifts, Elzy Milling & Trade, Glen’s Surplus Sales, Downtown Mansfield’s historic Carrousel District, and Bellville Merchants Co-op

Made Local: Made in the 419, Jones Potato Chip Co., Crossroads Original Designs, Cooper’s Mill, Mansfield Art Center’s 2018 Holiday Fair, Squirrel’s Den, and Malabar Farm State Park

Give it All: Wayne’s Country Market and Pumpkinseed Bulk Food

More details and links to all of the above can be found here on the Destination Mansfield website.
