“At long last, December! The holiday season is here, and it’s the time of year we can all slow down to spend time with our loved ones and reflect on what’s really important in life. And, if we’re being real, it’s also the time of year we might receive some pretty awesome presents from those loved ones. Before you go knocking me for misunderstanding the reason for the season, gift-giving is one of the five love languages, and the way I see it, an opportunity to show the person you bought it for that you get them—which, admittedly, can be a lot of pressure. 

Gift-giving is an art, and it’s a tall order to cram all those big, warm, fuzzy holiday feelings into the perfect present. But don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. For this issue, we present The Walleye’s 10th Annual Holiday Gift Guide. We’ve scoured the shelves from Westfort Village to the Waterfront District to compile over a hundred local gift ideas for everyone on your list. Whether your list includes animal lovers, collectors, entertainers, fitness buffs, foodies, jet setters, music fans, outdoor enthusiasts, trendsetters, or youngsters, we think you’ll find a gift that is quintessentially them.“
