Grateful for Those Who Shop Local

Celebrating Community, Connection and the Joy of Shopping Small

"When you support small, you support a dream. We are so thankful to share ours with you." - Julie McNabb and Katie Heinz 

At JK Gift Shop, we are grateful for every person who chooses to support local businesses like ours in Wooster and Medina. Whether you pop in for a quick gift, take the time to browse our new arrivals or simply stop to say hello, you are helping create something special. Local shopping isn’t just about the products. It’s about the connections, the conversations, and the community we build together.

When you spend money at a small business, that money stays close to home. It helps create jobs in the community, strengthens local opportunities and allows family-owned and operated businesses, like ours, to give back to the people we care about. That can mean supporting local charities, hosting community events or simply creating welcoming spaces where people can gather and feel at home. The impact of your purchase goes far beyond the register.

As we move into a season centered on gratitude, we want to share a few of our favorite customer-loved finds. These are the items that our regulars ask about, give and bring home to enjoy. 

One of our new best sellers this year is the Fountain Candle, which includes a convenient remote. We currently have a gorgeous maple leaf version in stock, which brings a soft bubbling sound and peaceful glow to any space. It’s been a go-to for interior design and thoughtful gifting. The Framed Map of Medina wall hanging is another community favorite, ideal for people who have cherished memories of this wonderful town.

Our “Shop Local” Totes have also been a hit. They’re functional, eco-friendly and send a message we all care about. The Ohio-Shaped Cutting Board is another standout, combining local pride with everyday practicality. It makes an excellent gift for new homeowners or anyone who loves hosting with a touch of Ohio charm.

This time of year brings out a love for cozy details and thoughtful hosting pieces, which we have plenty of in stock! Our Grateful Pumpkin Pillow is a neutral, seasonal staple, perfect for couches, benches or guest room chairs. We also have various fall dinner napkins, perfect for holiday gatherings and get-togethers. Add in our Thankful Trivet and the Mud Pie “Give Thanks” Tidbit Plates, and you’ve got a beautifully curated tabletop that feels just right for autumn celebrations.

We invite you to stop by one of our two locations. We’ll be styling our front window and table with these local finds and more. Whether you're shopping for a gift or simply stopping by to browse for yourself, please know how much your support means to us. Shopping local is a powerful way to show your support. From our JK Gift Shop family to yours, thank you for keeping the heart of our local communities strong.
