Logan is already known as the “gateway to Ohio’s scenic wonderland,” but it is also the gateway to some of the region’s best shopping. This year, skip the generic big box stores and head to your local shops to find unique, memorable Christmas gifts for your friends and family. Here is our guide to some of the best Christmas shopping in southeast Ohio.
Logan Antique Mall
You don’t have to be an antique dealer to appreciate these deals! The Logan Antique Mall is the area’s top spot for jewelry, furniture, dolls, toys, and other items dating as far back as the 1800s. With more than 100 dealers, this is your one-stop-shop for the collectors and vintage lovers in your family. You might even find some wonderful treats for yourself.
Hocking Hills Craft Mall and Gift Shop
If the Hocking Hills Craft Mall and Gift Shop doesn’t have it, you don’t need it! This store has everything (and I do mean everything!), which is why it is a popular destination for crafters, treasure hunters, and tour buses. From wall hangings and knick knacks to baskets, textiles, dolls, belts, and even handmade bags, you are sure to find something for everyone on your list.
Midwest Glassware Outlet
Funky glassware is in, and Midwest Glassware Outlet has enough of it to set all of the tables in Hocking Hills. With a showroom that encompasses more than 9000 square feet, this is the perfect place to shop for the cooks in your family and those people who seem to have everything. The products feature home and restaurant glassware, China, bake ware, and a variety of vases and containers, all at prices way below what you will find in most stores.
The Wind Chime Shop
The Wind Chime Shop has been a Logan institution for more than 25 years. The store carries roughly 2000 wine chimes from 45 different lines. You can check out the most popular items online. Right next to the Wind Chime Shop, and operated by the same owners, the Candle Shop features candles made by local artisans and the Christmas Treasures Gift Shop is full of pottery, glassware, dolls candy, soaps, ornaments, and much, much more.
Logan Art Gallery and Art Center
The Logan Art Gallery and Art Center is a mecca for artists and art lovers alike. You can buy everything from pottery and jewelry to photographs, paintings, and even textiles, all made by local artists. Or, if you are looking for a unique experiential gift, consider signing your special someone up for some art classes. The Center offers classes in painting, pottery, and more. For more information, call 740-385-9455.
Columbus Washboard Company
Finally, for a truly one-of-a-kind gift, head over to the Columbus Washboard Company, where they still make washboards by hand. This isn’t just laundry—it is a piece of American history. The gift shop also features soaps, glassware, and a selection of Hocking Hills arts and crafts.
Christmas shopping should be a pleasure, not a chore. By visiting Logan’s local shops, you can experience both the thrill of discovery and the joy of finding just the right gifts for your loved ones. Happy treasure hunting!
