Where to go for Unique Gifts

Are you looking for a unique holiday gift for someone who has it all?

We asked Buffalo Grove Patch Facebook fans and Twitter followers which local shops they recommend for items off the beaten path.

Here are some of their responses:

Amy Nusbaum Cassman I love the on Lexington!

Amy Neubauer Flammang Gems of nature on Milwaukee north of Dundee in Wheeling. Handmade jewelry, beads, classes, tea, essential oils. Nina's the owner, she's awesome. Groovy!

@JenniferBulandr suggested checking out Blue House in Barrington. The fair trade shop sells unique items made by local and international crafters as well as antiques. It currently also offers handmade bowls by students, with sales benefitting the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

Thanks, readers, for these suggestions!
