{My Christmas shopping is just about done, but this is truly a first. I was often the lady running in the background of the 5 o'clock news piece on last minute shoppers at the mall. Luckily, I figured out that shopping locally affords you an extra week of procrastination. Hurrah! And it supports Milwaukee, which I'm down for. So here is my 2012 list for great Milwaukee purchases (including where to buy them). For more ideas check out the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Guides.}
- Janelle Gramling Pillow, from the Milwaukee based designer is $58 (see her Facebook page for a 20% off discount code).
- Hugh Bob and the Hustle's latest album is on my top 10 list this year- pick it up at the Exclusive Company or on iTunes, $10.
- Milwaukee Beer Soap, $5. Purchase at Groom, Outpost, The Brass Rooster, or Glorioso's.
- Plushzilla are just too cute. Find them on Etsy, Sparrow Collective, or ReThreads for $15-$25
- City Tins, $25, (aka my favorite gift to give) are sold out online but are still available at Outpost and the Public Market. Madison City Tins now available, too!
- Bolzano Meats has salami and other meats available at these these places. Or give the gift of a charcuterie class.
- An annual membership to the Milwaukee Art Museum ranges from $25 to &75 will never disappoint.
- Amerique 1912 Absinthe Rogue from Great Lakes Distillery is $35 and great for a hostess gift or for the cocktail buff.
- Koss Headphones, $79, look sharp but don't cost a fortune. Shop their outlet on Port Washington Rd.
- Milwaukee Lakefront bandana from HANmade is so lovely, $18. Purchase online or at Broadway Paper.
