20 Minnesota-made gifts under $100 for everyone on your list

What they're saying: Customers are heeding the warnings, according to Christine Ward, the co-founder of Twin Cities specialty gift shop Patina.

• Ward said her business, which has eight locations across the metro, saw an early surge of customers in November and more in-store purchases versus online.
• "We started preparing a year in advance to avoid issues. Our inventory was 90% set by October," Ward said.

Be smart: You may have a better chance at finding gifts in time for the holidays if you shop local. Plus: What better way to support our metro's economy as it rebounds from the pandemic?
