To quote one of the shops mentioned, "local businesses are the flavor of Middleton and keep us unique and special." We hope this guide inspires you to skip the big-box rush this holiday season and head to the places that give our community its heartbeat.
Kylee’s Gift Cottage
Kylee’s Gift Cottage feels like stepping into a mini art fair. What started out as selling artwork at craft shows around the Midwest has grown into a shop featuring pieces from more than 25 local and regional artists. You’ll find handmade woodwork, jewelry, paintings, photography, candles, greeting cards, and plenty of festive holiday gifts, including a pet section inspired by their Chihuahua, Kylee. Popular picks include Wisconsin-shaped cutting boards and locally made candles from Windsor.
