Mahaska Wish Book 2021
200+ Local Gift Ideas to Support Small, Shop Smart in Downtown Oskaloosa and Mahaska County this Holiday Season. This year, it continues to be as important as ever to support the small and independent businesses in our local communities. Our local shops and small businesses are ready for you. Their shelves are stocked with unique gift ideas, great kids’ toys, and many locally-made/made-in-Iowa products. When you shop local and independent, more dollars stay in our local economy. For every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $68 will remain in the community—compared to $43 at a national chain. This second-annual Mahaska Wish Book is a labor of local love produced by the Oskaloosa Main Street Promotions Committee, in collaboration with the Mahaska Chamber, and supported by generous local business sponsors (check them out on the next few pages). This year, we’re also grateful for the portable photo box from the Iowa SBDC. We used the photo box to capture photos of all the local products in this book! Within these pages, we’ve highlighted more than two hundred gift ideas for everyone on your list—the foodie with a sweet tooth, the adventurous traveler, the friend with a green thumb, and even your furry, four-legged family member. Did you know that the Book Vault has a kitchen section dedicated to cookbooks and gourmet cooking products? That True Value, Salvaged Designs, and Crow Row carry a great selection of pet products? Or that your favorite vintage vinyl records can be found at Muse Music Store and Timeless Treasures Corner? Mahaska County is full of delightful shopping surprises, unique gifts, and excellent customer service to help you find perfect presents. Thank you for helping keep the cheer here for the holidays!
