Gifts for Him: 2012 Small Business Holiday Gift Guide

Looking for a gift for a man in your life? Check out our gift guide featuring small businesses in Oak Park and Forest Park.

In the last week, I've traveled to nearly every boutique, shop and store in Oak Park and Forest Park on the hunt for great holiday gift ideas. I've been amazed at the wide selection these stores have to offer and the great prices they offer their merchandise at.

Shopping locally at small businesses saves money on shipping and gas, allows you to see and touch what you're purchasing and keeps your money in the community. I think we've proved here that you don't need to go far to grab everything you need this season.
