Peruse for Your Perfect Gift and Have a Snowball of a Time!

The Geneva Chamber of Commerce Invites you to Explore Downtown Geneva this Holiday Season

H

ave you taken a cue from the jolly old elf? You made a list, checked it twice and still discovered there are presents to purchase & wrap, food to buy, relatives to entertain and Santa to visit! Ho, Ho, Hopefully Geneva can help make that list smaller with these ideas and even give you back some “me” time.

Downtown Geneva is still dressed in holiday finery, so not only can you find that special gift for Great Aunt Tildy, but you can enjoy the scenery as well. Don’t forget you can also find all the items you may need for a celebration at your own home. All month long, many merchants are offering special events too.

View the calendar at genevachamber.com.

Thinking about leaving the cooking (and cleanup) to someone else? There are restaurants and caterers that will gladly welcome you. Visit the dining section on our website.

Or how about a Geneva gift certificate?

Always a perfect gift. Not only is it accepted at over 160 restaurants and shops all around Geneva, but you are keeping the dollar in our community by shopping local. Purchase them online at genevachamber.com or at the Chamber office, 8 S. Third St.

Items That Will Catch Your Eye Kane County’s Finest gourmet shops are filled with artisanal delights, making your holiday shopping easy

ows of amber-colored olive oil bottles, oldfashioned decorative tins filled to the brim with ginger cookies, displays of golden honey — all prove to be very tempting alternatives for customers looking to bypass the grocery store in favor of something more unique. When readers weighed in on their top spots for gourmet finds in the Kane County’s Finest contest, three shops — each with their own distinctive flavor — rose to the top.

The Royal Wren

11 S. Third St., Geneva 331-248-0344 www.theroyalwren.shopsettings.com At The Royal Wren, rustic tables and shelves with industrial hardware and accents are laden with a highly curated assortment of artisanal goodies, from pasta and sauces to tea, wines and craft spirits. Charcuterie boards practically build themselves with a wide selection of jarred spreads as well as imported cheeses and cured meats. Wine by the glass is available for purchase, and customers are invited to sip while they shop or even take a glass to a hidden outdoor space festooned in seasonal decor.

“We want The Royal Wren to feel like an extension of our home and we hope to give our customers a very welcoming experience,” says Jen Feltes, who owns the store with her husband, Tom.

The Gift Box

310 W. State St., Geneva 630-232-4151 www.genevagiftbox. com Scandinavia looms large and charmingly over shoppers of The Gift Box, which sells all manner of apparel and gifts. Open and family-owned since 1947, the shop also carries overseas culinary delights for those seeking a taste of home or, perhaps,
