Richmond / Wayne County Indiana is a one-stop destination for holiday shopping
Making a list and checking it twice? You’ll find everything you need to knock out your holiday shopping in Richmond and Wayne County.
Start your excursions in Richmond, home to one of just two Dillard’s department stores in the state of Indiana. The Old National Road Welcome Center carries all manner of regionally sourced products embodying the flavor of Wayne County, from books and t-shirts to artisan-made pottery and jewelry. Just east on U.S. 40 at the Ohio state line, the quirky Uranus Fudge Factory and General Store brims with sweet treats and fun gag gift options. Also on the east side of town, Life Styled by the Village Forager (an offshoot of the original location in Centerville) curates a thoughtful selection of gift ideas for the home.
If mama (or anyone in the family) needs a new pair of shoes, Esmond’s in downtown Richmond has been proudly serving the Wayne County community since 1947 and the airy Ply (fiber arts) Shop and Studio also downtown offers a craft lovers dream. In the Historic Depot District, you’ll want to spend some time browsing the distinctive wares of local small businesses like Block Head Records, Comic Relief Comics, and The Two Sisters: Books & More.
The giant candle at the intersection of I-70 and Centerville Road makes Warm Glow hard to miss. Inside, it’s easy to spend a full morning or afternoon exploring the vast inventory of fragrant signature candles, gifts and home décor, pit-stopping for lunch at the on-site Stone Hearth Cafe. Meanwhile, the charming Lavender & Sage Gardening & Home Decor, Bibbly Boo Toy & Candy Shoppe and Luxe Lizzie’s Boutique all make their homes in Centerville proper.
Looking for a truly one-of-a-kind present? You never know what treasures you might discover while exploring Antique Alley in Cambridge City. There’s a nice selection of women’s clothing and gift items at the Red Chandelier, along with custom engraving services for extra personalization. Just across the street, SassyJunk balances out the town’s retro-vintage vibe with contemporary boho-chic accessories, skincare products, candles and modern gift suggestions.
The Shoppes of East Main in Hagerstown maintain two buildings of antiques, gifts and home décor to check out. Kick up your heels at the Boot Box, and cap off your shopping adventure by loading up on signature soft caramels and other great stocking stuffers at Abbott’s Candies, a local fixture dating all the way back to 1890.
