For Your Sustainability-Focused Friend

Know a friend who loves finding new ways to live more sustainably? If so, visit Forever Mindful at 7067 East Market Street in Howland. This sustainable-goods shop, owned by mother-daughter duo Susan Tietz and Jessica Rullo, is Trumbull County’s first refill shop.

For Your Friends Who Are Hard to Shop For

Want to support several small businesses while finding high-quality gifts for friends who are hard to shop for? Look no further than The Small District, one of Warren’s newest shopping destinations at 523 East Market Street.

This marketplace houses 15 local, women-owned small businesses, with items ranging from clothing and jewelry to accessories, baked goods, personal-care products, stationery, and more. The Small District also includes a hair salon, a waxing and lash studio, and a nail salon. For flexibility, pick up a gift card or certificate – an easy way to make sure your bestie always looks and feels fantastic.

For Your Friend Who Loves a Vintage or Handmade Find

The Pearl Street Market, located at 124 Pearl Street in Cortland, is one of Trumbull County’s newest stops for vintage treasures and artisanal goods. The market features more than 80 vendors. Offerings range from vintage décor and collectibles to handmade crafts, soaps, locally made jellies, jams and bread, and coffee.

Prefer something in northern Trumbull? Between Two Rivers Trading Co. offers a gorgeous selection of restored lamps and trinkets to browse. Plus, you can stop by the End of the Commons General Store to stock up on Amish fry pies and saltwater taffy.

For Pretty Much Everyone Else

What shopping spree is complete without a trip to the mall? In addition to the national brands you’d expect at Trumbull County’s Eastwood Mall, visitors will also find a few surprises. Fuel up with a sweet treat from the Amish Country Market, where you can enjoy freshly made donuts, pretzels, and other baked goods. Be sure to grab chocolate at Daffin’s Candies for later – no one regrets bringing candy to the office holiday gift exchange.

Whether you’re shopping for musical instruments (Hubbard Music), books (Leana’s Books & More), collectibles (Shop of Treasures), children’s clothing (Rosebuds Boutique), accessories (Gracylane), or the perfect outfit for a big event (Lavish), you’ll find plenty of options. There’s truly something for everyone at the Eastwood Mall. Finally, stop by the newest branch of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, located near JCPenney.

Coffee Break #2

Time for another coffee stop! Check out Cadence Coffeehouse & Creperie at 31 North Main Street in Niles. Along with great coffee and delicious crepes, sandwiches, and pastries, Cadence has a mission. It provides vulnerable youth with job training and life skills. Then enjoy your drink with a beautiful view of the McKinley Memorial right across the street.

For Your Friend Who Loves Throwback Thursday

Be sure to check out Sweet Memories Vintage Tees at 1282 Trumbull Avenue in Girard. This one-of-a-kind store is packed with nostalgia. If you’re after a favorite childhood candy or a 1980s soda, you’ll likely find it here. Still looking for a toy Santa missed? This is the place. You can also restock your wardrobe with their full line of officially licensed tees.

Designs feature beloved candy and ice cream brands, plus iconic local memories like Packard Car & Electric and Idora Park. Even better, a portion of select T-shirt sales supports Akron Children’s NICU Clinic, U.S. Military Morale, and the National Packard Museum of Warren.

For Yourself

After you’ve finished your shopping, you deserve to relax. Good thing you booked a spa appointment at The Grand Resort, 9519 East Market Street in Warren. Wind down with a restorative or deep-tissue massage, or indulge in a thermal wrap, stress-relief therapy, or full-body exfoliation. You can also get holiday-party ready with a facial, manicure, pedicure, or makeup application.

This is just a small sampling of the incredible small businesses and shopping destinations across Trumbull County. No matter what you’re looking for this holiday season, you won’t have to go far to find the perfect gift – whether it’s for someone you love or a treat for yourself.
