Like clockwork I find myself once again facing the harsh reality that Christmas is less then ten days away and I still have way too much shopping to do. As a way to possibly avoid the chaos of suburban shopping I was curious if we might be able to quickly list some unique shops here in the city that could be an alternative. Last year I picked up a few fantastic gifts from Pewabic. Seems like a good topic before the weekend shopping rush begins. What suggestions do any of you have out there for shopping in the city? | ||

I got all my gifts from Pure Detroit last year. My family and friends in Maine thought it was pretty fun. | ||

You can go to the Ren Cen on Saturday, where half of the shops are closed, yet they still offer gift wrapping. | ||

I hit up Puebic Pottery, 5500 Cass Gallery, and the art space at forest and woodward. Plan on going to Boreders or BN for the remainder of gifts. | ||

Are there any websites that support specifically Detroit retail (other than pure Detroit)? I live in Chicago and would rather support Detroit's retail shops, if possible. | ||
