It’s no secret that Meadows Realty Group is not only focused on providing our clients with the perfect homes, but also the perfect community for themselves and their families. There is nothing more important, especially now, than supporting the local businesses that make up these communities, and we are passionate about supporting local by shopping local.
With that in mind, we have put together a list of locally owned brick and mortar shops in Macomb County, Oakland County, and Detroit to help our clients – and beyond – find the perfect gifts for everybody on their holiday shopping list this year. From clothing and home goods to toys and pastries and everything in between, we hope these lists help make the local shopping experience easy and fun, and we look forward to hearing about all the unique gifts you discover along the way.
We recommend contacting each location individually to confirm operating hours and current social-distancing protocols in place due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
