“I am not a shopaholic.<\/h3>\n

I am helping the economy.”<\/h3>\n

“I wish retail therapy
\nwas covered by my insurance.”<\/h3>\n

“I could give up shopping,
\nbut I am not a quitter.”<\/h3>\n

Time\u00a0to freshen up your look for 2017? Ready\u00a0for a new piece of art or sculpture to liven things up around the home? Perhaps there’s a\u00a0one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry you’ve been thinking about? How about a great new pair of boots and a sassy new purse?<\/p>\n

We’re not doctors, but if it were up to us we’d prescribe a Saugatuck shopping trip and a winter getaway to Wickwood Inn to gift yourself a few days of retail therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skip the lines. Forget about traffic jams and overpriced parking.\u00a0A Saugatuck shopping trip comes without any such headaches!<\/span><\/p>\n

Saugatuck & Douglas are here to pamper.\u00a0Here are some of our favorite local owned Saugatuck\u00a0stores.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good Goods<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Sandra and the team at Good Goods have been bringing the best of handmade in America to downtown Saugatuck for over 25 years! You won’t have any trouble finding something special from\u00a0this stunning collection of jewelry, fine art, furniture, and wearables representing\u00a0over 150 artists.\u00a0Todd Reed’s oxidized silver and raw cut diamonds, Eileen Fisher clothing, and a very select group of artisans’ work, in all mediums.\u00a0<\/span>Seek out Jessica Bohus and her sterling silver rings that are crafted after one designed by The Vikings. They are as appropriate today as they were then.<\/span><\/p>\n

Landsharks<\/strong><\/a> | Nothing cookie cutter about this place. Yes, Landsharks is a specialty outdoor store with all the great brands you’d expect … but they’re so much more than that. Sally, and her son, David, shop tirelessly so they can introduce us to\u00a0the best, most exciting and innovative brands. Thanks for keeping us ahead of the times\u00a0since 1989, Landsharks!<\/p>\n

J Petter Galleries | Art & Wine<\/strong><\/a> | This 12,000 foot gallery is an unusual find for art enthusiasts, collectors and designers, plus a beautiful destination for wine lovers. Featuring\u00a0an eclectic collection of fine paintings, sculpture, glass, and more … the galleries are also home to Petter Wine Gallery. Here, you\u2019ll find boutique wines and artful foods, plus a tasting bar! Juli and her expert staff will find just the right pour for you, and we love that they encourage\u00a0walking around the galleries with that glass of wine\u00a0in your hand.<\/p>\n

Earth Echos<\/strong><\/a> | When Sean & Cheryl travelled the southwest, they became fascinated by stones. We love that they are still creating bold, custom jewelry AND that they call Saugatuck home. You’re sure to find just the right thing to lift your mood and make a statement in 2017! Be sure and notice their<\/span>\u00a0incredible Sterling silver coil necklace that you can hang a pendant of Michigan\u2019s State Gem, Greenstone, on.\u00a0<\/span>Greenstone (Chlorastrolite)\u00a0<\/span>is found on the\u00a0beaches of Isle Royale and throughout the Keweenaw Peninsula.\u00a0<\/span>The stones look like you\u2019re peering \u00a0into deep shimmering water.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Butler Pantry<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>First opening its doors in 1977, The Butler Pantry is a true culinary experience you don’t want to miss!

Kilwin’s<\/a> |\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Dan & Julie’s shop full of sweet goodness is a landmark for locals and tourists alike. In fact, this place is so popular, they added a second store in downtown Saugatuck just to keep up with customer demand. Watch the confections being made in the store window and taste the difference in their handmade chocolates, Mackinac Island-style fudge, and original recipe ice cream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chantal\u00a0Fashion Apparel<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>We love all 3 of Chantal & Simon’s clothing boutiques in downtown Saugatuck. With the latest in fashions for him & her, we always know just where to go when our wardrobe needs an update!<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncommon\u00a0Coffee Roasters<\/strong><\/a> | The locals will tell you, Saugatuck runs on whatever is being roasted and handcrafted at Uncommon Coffee. Guy & Steve have been fueling us with caffeine, tea, fresh juices, soups, sandwiches, baked goods (made daily in house), and good tunes since 1994. Guy, Steve … we don’t know what we’d be without you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
