From artisan and handmade items to stocking-stuffer treats, you’ll find the most meaningful gifts this holiday season at locally owned stores and shopping events in Festival Country.

Something for Her

If she loves a unique blouse or trendy jeans, you’ll find the best options at many boutiques around the county, including Brianne’s Boutique in Greenwood and Brick Street Boutique in Franklin. Farm Girl Mercantile and Vintage Whimsy in Franklin boast a diverse inventory of holiday-themed gifts, home décor, antiques and more for every household style. But if her style is more rustic, you’re sure to find something at Take Root Country Store.

Treat her to something she wouldn’t buy for herself, like the locally made self-care items at Mom’s Time-Out Corner or toxin-free candles and room sprays at Eave Collective Candles, both in downtown Franklin.

Something for Him

At Home with Heartland in Franklin just expanded and sells even more men’s clothes, personal care items and books.

And in Greenwood, the newly opened Collier Outfitters offers sporty and smart casual clothes and accessories for all the men in your life. For the classic types, stop by Main Street Vintage for one-of-a-kind clothes and refurbished accessories and décor. Or make an appointment at Visitor Watch Co., which is right around the corner, for a classy timepiece to polish up any outfit. 

Something for Kids

Gift a whole lot of fun with toys and more from Toodleydoo Toys in Franklin. The wide selection of items includes games, toys, books and stuffies for babies through young children. Explore Faraday Toys for new and retro collectables, card games and action figures in Greenwood.

Something for Everyone

You never know what you’ll discover in the brick-and-mortar stores in Festival Country. In Franklin, Middle Davids Artisan Candles is where you’ll find handcrafted candles as well as delicate jewelry and rare items from national artists. Wild Geese Bookshop in Franklin has an excellent curated collection of books, but is more than a bookstore. It’s where to find thoughtful gifts for book lovers as well as kids, cooks and friends.

A bag of freshly made flavored popcorn from Not Just Popcorn, Etc. in Edinburgh or chocolates and taffies from Hoosier Cupboard Candy, Snacks and Ice Cream in Franklin make the perfect stocking stuffers or hostess gifts.
