I need MI-made gift suggestions

My husband is a glassblower and makes everything in his workshop in Michigan.  We have a small gift shop called Treasures by the Lake/Glass by Daniel.  His website is www.glassbydaniel.com.  He makes a variety of pieces.  What is on his website is just a small sample of what he makes.  He also does custom pieces.  It is definitely worth checking us out.  You won't be sorry.

There are a number of photos and products in the Handmade Detroit gallery group on flickr.com

Good luck :)

This looks like a holiday topic, but there are new posts so I guess I'm not out of place. There is some great locally made toffe at http://bellstonetoffee.com/ . I don't have any connection with the company, but I have received the toffee as a gift, and immediately ordered more for myself and friends.

My friend at WP Laser Art creates the greatest lasered gifts you can imagine. He can laser any picture onto virtually any material from granite to cardboard.

Looking around for a unique gift for a friend whose taste is refined, I was concerned about giving something that would measure up to his standards, and frustrated trying to find an item that would actually put to use.

Then I met Gregg & Yvonne of www.g3studios.net whose Pepper Mills i couldnt take my eyes off. They do Juried Art Fairs and are available thru various galeries.

Some fantastic ideas for "foodies"....

Especially the preserves made of thimbleberries picked in the UP.

I haven't gone through all of the suggestions in the list yet, but I want to make sure we include Bell's Beer from Kalamazoo.  As an experienced beer drinker, I have to give credit to Larry Bell for making some of the most delicious craft brewed beers available on the market anywhere in the country.

Lisa Hi:  Hate to toot our own horn but being one of Michigan's best kept secrets do include our no preservatives gourmet chocolate cookies to any basket to add a smile with love. Jes Cookies.
