Chicago Themed Gifts this year

November 3, 2022

One of my favorite gift guides to do every year are the Chicago themed ones. I actually do these guides first because they tend to take me the longest! Many of the gifts I chose this year are from small businesses (like Etsy, Smaller Things, etc) and many made here as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Chicago Themed gifts for everyone

Chicago Neighborhood Candle: They have lots of neighborhoods to choose from!

Chicago Thermal Mug: For all the coffee lovers! You can purchase beans from a local shop and make this a Chicago coffee themed gift idea. Could also make a nice CPS teacher gift!
