Curated Royal Oak Shopping Guide

Shop local for the holidays with these unique finds

If you are like me, it gets harder and harder to shop for people every year. Local unique finds are what seem to win over everyone - even the hardest family member or friend to shop for. Explore these local boutique shops for some of the very best finds around town. Modern amenities, quirky local staples and priceless heirloom pieces for the kids, mid-century modern and antique whimsy – these three shops have the full range covered.
