The second installment (see the first installment here) of our Holiday Gift Guide turns the spotlight on those businesses and their owners who offer personal touches, literally and figuratively. Their passion for creating is evident in the care they take for merchandising what they have created. A few of the small retail businesses we’ve featured have been in existence for a year while others have been part of the fabric of the downtown for 30 years. One proprietor has been a steady presence since 1972. All offer something truly unique.
