Holiday Gift Guide
W Fitness Freak: Page 44
ith the materialistic temptations of door-buster deals at big-box chain stores and the gluttonous convenience of online commerce — Christmas shopping has grown into a merry-less, bleak routine. Sometimes we forget about supporting the local West Michigan shops and boutiques that give our communities charisma. Revue’s annual Holiday Gift Guide highlights those eccentric specialty stores. Beyond that, we suggest some stellar local events and food/drink hotspots to enjoy throughout the holidays. For your retail convenience, Revue arranged the Gift Guide recommendations by various personality types. From a Debbie Downer-caliber “Buzzkill” to a Nikon-wielding “Photography Dad,” this section covers each character on your shopping list. Well, except for that one creepy uncle … we’re not sure about him.
