Your Lemont Downtown Holiday Gift Guide

Photography by Molly Hebda Photography

The holidays are for spending time with friends and family but also, for gifts. Even if you only spend a few dollars or make something from hand, the simple gesture of giving a gift reminds folks that you’re thinking of them and that gift is priceless.

We’ve worked with local shop owners to compile our favorite gift ideas in Lemont Downtown. Save this list for all year long so you always have a holiday, birthday, anniversary, or just-because gift in your back pocket.
