There may not be enough time left for a package to be delivered, but Kennett Square's small business owners are ready to help you find thoughtful gifts that will delight everyone on your list. With extended shopping hours in most shops, Kennett Square's small businesses have you covered up to the eleventh hour. No gift from an independently owned shop will ever look last minute, and most merchants offer gorgeous gift wrapping as well as gift cards. It's not too late to rediscover the joy of holiday shopping this season in Kennett Square!

 

In our one square mile, you'll find: award-winning jewelry; local art and pottery; unique, handcrafted, and for-good homewares and gift items; new and vintage clothing and accessories; new, used, and rare books; specialty food items; outdoor gear; and fantastically fun and kid-tested toys and games.

 

And remember to shop ALL of Kennett Square this season. Our vibrant and charming historic town, named Best Suburban Shopping Destination 2019 by Philadelphia magazine, offers diverse shopping options in growing neighborhoods in addition to the great variety of shops and boutiques on State, Union, and Broad Streets. At Cannery Row, near Victory Brewing and Magnolia Place, for example, TEXTILE offers a spectacular curated collection of vintage and contemporary clothing as well as a new stationery section with journals, pens, and notecards that make perfect gifts and stocking stuffers. While you're there, stop in at Evergreen Café & Bakery to indulge in a handcrafted pastry. In the Birch Street neighborhood on the corner of South Walnut and Birch Streets, the 25 artisan and vintage vendors at worKS are celebrating Last-Minute Monday with refreshments, giveaways, and "sanity-saving gifts and guidance."

 

With a convenient parking garage, gift-wrapping, and award-winning cafes and restaurants, shopping small, even last-minute, has never been easier-or more enjoyable. Not only do consumers make a lasting and positive impact on the local economy and community when they shop small-they also give one-of-a-kind and thoughtful gifts that will be appreciated for their quality, craftsmanship, and originality long after the holidays are over.

 

We look forward to seeing you on New Year's Eve for the seventh annual Midnight in the Square-ringing in 2020 with this great community celebration!
