2019 Extraordinary Holiday Gift Guide!

The Extraordinary Holiday Gift Guide!

Before kids, we had all our holiday shopping done by (or shortly after) Thanksgiving. Post-kids? We sometimes find ourselves relying on anything available with overnight shipping, or online gift cards (when we’re truly out of ideas). Instead, we hope this guide inspires you to shop creatively & utilize all the amazing local stores we have in Ridgefield & surrounding towns! In addition, we hope this guide provides you with both some solid inspiration and any needed motivation to check all of the dads, moms, kids and everyone in between off your list early, and give unique gifts they’ll love and use over and over.
