Glass City Gifts

The holiday shopping season has officially begun. Now, you only have a few weeks left to get your gifts for your friends and loved ones. Black Friday has come and gone, so has Cyber Monday. So where can you go to secure those must-have presents? We give you a head start by giving you a list of local stores to support!

Boutiques and clothing

• Since Simply D’Vine Boutique opened a few years ago, the store has been offering fashionable clothing and accessories for both women and men at affordable prices. You can shop online and have your order delivered or stop by the brick and mortar store located on West Sylvania Avenue beside Mercy St. Anne Medical Center.
  
• Ragazza Boutique features hand-picked clothes for all occasions. If you’re unsure about what to buy for someone on your list, the stylists are always there to help find exactly what you’re looking for. For convenience, Ragazza offers an online store and has a location in downtown Sylvania!
  
• Sophia Lustig is more than a name in the Toledo area. Her namesake store began in downtown Toledo back in 1936 that featured hand-picked clothing and accessories. Since then, several owners continued the tradition and have adapted to today’s fashion trends. Now found in downtown Perrysburg, guests can shop perfumes, skin care products in addition to clothing and accessories. The shop offers an online holiday gift guide as well as gift cards that begin at $50.
  
• Who knew a secondhand store could be so good? Bella River Boutique on River Road in Maumee features pre-owned designer handbags, clothing, accessories, and more, for a fraction of what you might pay for a brand-new item. If you’re still unsure about what you might find, take some time to visit their online store that shows high-quality images of the available products. Gift cards are also available to purchase.
