SHOP LOCAL One of our favorite gifts to receive? Tom’s Mom’s Cookies. The beloved bakery makes some 3,500 dozen cookies each holiday season, mailing them out in colorful tins. For something extra special, Elizabeth Blair Fine Pearls always delights. And browsing one-of-a-kind artwork at Hanni Gallery is a fab way to spend an hour.
MAKE MERRY Go wine tasting at Pond Hill Farm and pick out a few bottles for gift giving and holiday dinners. The farm also sells Christmas trees and wreaths so you can cross décor off your list, too. pondhill.com
SANTA’S SECRET A brilliant, starry ceiling twinkles above moviegoers at the Lyric Theatre. See a show between stops at your favorite shops, and grab a theater gift card for that hard-to-shop-for friend. lyricharborsprings.org
WINTER WONDERLAND Explore 6.5 miles of trails (3.5 are groomed for snowshoeing and crosscountry skiing) at Goodhart Farms Nature Preserve, about 20 minutes north of downtown. The property is a mix of meadows, forest, old orchards and pine plantations. Scenic rolling fields offer Lake Michigan views. landtrust.org
