Here are 6 local Christmas gift ideas you can buy from small businesses right here in the Lake Wallenpaupack area. First, I absolutely love Lake Art. This shop was established in 2014 and is located right off 507. Each product is designed and made right here in Tafton! They have everything from shirts, hats, and cups, to dog bowls and live-edge wood signs! You will be sure to find something even for the picky one in your family. This place is perfect for any Lake Wallenpaupack lover!
#2 Rose Hill Woodwork
If you are looking for something truly unique, check out this company's woodwork! Scott is the owner and creator, and if you haven't had a chance to meet him, I would recommend going to the next event that he'll be selling at! You can tell he is passionate about what he does, and he loves seeing the smile on people's faces when they see his intricate and unique designs. So, buy something from his shop to put a smile on your friend/family member's face this holiday! Perfect for anyone who loves interior design or conversation pieces.
#3 Wire People Here
Sean Brady is the owner of this company that makes unique decor out of wire! From life-size pieces to miniature items perfect for an office desk, he can turn a piece of wire into anything he puts his mind to! I personally love the dog-shaped pieces as a gift for any of your animal-lover friends (like myself)! He also has all kinds of sports-inspired pieces like a soccer player, a kayaker, a golf player, and so much more!
#4 Pocono Axe Works
You may have had some fun throwing axes with this company in the past whether it was in their mobile axe-throwing trailer or at their location in Lakeville, but did you know they also have a great selection of gift items? They have it all — hats, t-shirts, hoodies, flannels, stickers, and patriotic wooden flags! Don't forget about an axe-throwing gift card to give a truly amazing experience to your adventurous friend or someone who just needs to let off some steam.
#5 Grain To Glory
The owner of this amazing company, Ryan, prides himself on making all of the products they sell right here in our own backyard (but don't worry, they ship all over the country!). This company was founded on the owner's love for our country, and his biggest goal is to bring a piece of America into every home. With the help of his amazing woodworking skills, the company has sold thousands of flags to families all over the United States. This would be a perfect gift for the true patriot in your family. And the beautiful woodwork can be displayed inside or outside your home!
#6 True Value
For someone who wants more than decor or a sentimental piece, give them something that will be sure to get the job done (no matter what that job may be!). True Value in Hawley offers a wide range of Stihl equipment that will be sure to put a smile on anyone's face.
Alright Lake Wallenpaupack, enjoy shopping local. If you have any other local gift ideas, please let me know. Merry Christmas! 🎄
