A book, a bottle or a couple's night out can take care of someone on your holiday gift list while supporting a Northwest Arkansas business.
- Here's a starter list with shops to explore.
📚 Reads: Try Pearl's Books or Dad Suggests Books for children in Fayetteville, Underbrush Books in Rogers or Two Friends Books in Bentonville.
🎨 Made here: Browse ceramics, candles and apparel at Natural Threads General Store in south Fayetteville or Hello Local inside Onyx Coffee Lab in Springdale.
🍸 Party: Find housewares, mixers and Arkansas-made gifts at City Supply in Fayetteville. Tipton & Hurst, in Rogers' Village on the Creeks, adds flowers, tabletop goods and home décor options.
☕️ Coffee: Pair beans from Airship Coffee or Onyx Coffee Lab with a syrup from Pink House Alchemy.
🕯 Cozy: Pick a candle from The Little Candle of NWA in Bentonville.
💿 Music: Browse new and vintage vinyl, CDs and other music goods at Block Street Records in Fayetteville and Bentonville.
🏈 Fans: Razorback clothing, drinkware and game-day accessories from Stache in Fayetteville.
🍫 Sweets: Try chocolate from KYYA or Markham & Fitz. For someone who prefers a warm drink, add loose-leaf tea from Savoy Tea Co.
🍷 Wine: A bottle from Sassafras Springs Vineyard and Winery or Tontitown Winery.
🧀 Goodies: House-made pasta from Zelli in Springdale or grazings galore from Noble Graze in Fayetteville.
🎟 For the person who has enough stuff: Buy tickets to TheatreSquared, Walton Arts Center, George's Majestic Lounge or Ozark Music Hall, formerly JJ's Live. A local restaurant gift card works, too. Two people off the list. One date night.
