Welcome to the annual Lake Country Family Fun's
Shop Small Holiday Guide!
If it isn’t obvious by now, we love Lake Country. We love Waukesha County, our charming downtowns, our beautiful lakes, and of course, our home state of Wisconsin. The area is full of local fun, incredible people, and amazing small businesses that make our communities shine.
Shopping local in Lake Country and Waukesha County means more than finding the perfect gift. It means supporting your neighbors, strengthening our economy, and keeping our towns unique and thriving. As a busy mom, I love being able to stop into my favorite local shop and find what I need without wandering through endless aisles.
This Lake Country Shop Small Holiday Guide is your go-to resource for discovering and supporting the best local businesses in Delafield, Oconomowoc, Pewaukee, Hartland, Brookfield, and beyond. Whether you’re grabbing a thoughtful gift, a treat for yourself, or a gift card for that hard-to-shop-for friend, these locally owned businesses have you covered.
Every business featured here has been recommended and loved by Lake Country Family Fun followers! 💕 (Click each image to visit their website.) Follow along on Instagram and watch our stories to see how we’re celebrating and shopping local this season.
Together, let’s skip the big box stores when we can, support our neighbors, and make this holiday season merry and meaningful. 🎁
