Shop Oh-Ho-Ho-Hio

Nov 23, 2001 - © Diane Stresing

Well, it's time.
Time to hit the mall, ring up the catalog companies, inventory your wrapping paper and shop till you drop.
Or is it? Why can't you do it online?
Well of course you can.

When you want all things Buckeye for all the Buckeyes (or former Buckeyes, or wannabe Buckeyes) on your holiday shopping list, you don't have to go far. You can shop from the comfort of your own seat, right there in front of your computer screen. (Or, if you're sneaky, while you're at work!)

Browse bunches of Buckeye buys, below:

Like an online bookstore dedicated just to the printed word on O-HI-O, this site has it all. Want history or hiking books? Day trips? Maps? Photography? It's all there. The site also posts a picture of each book's cover; by letting your pointer rest for a moment on any one, you'll get its complete title, publish date, and price. You can order the book from the links by double-clicking. Check it out.

Looking for antiques? Check out Lazy Dog's list of Ohio spots sorted by antique, toy, and collectible shops. A comprehensive list; even if you can't browse the inventory online, you can save lots of time by calling first.

Want to send flowers in Ohio, but don't want to pay hefty state-to-state shop charges? Look up a local florist here, at Ohio Floral and Gift. Bonus: one less "middleman" to relay (and possibly botch) your order.

Want to give someone on your list a taste of the islands? Look here first. My favorite--The Original Island Fudge Shop--is a seasonal-only shop (sniff, sniff) but Grapevine Gifts (hint: most of these arrive bottled) are available online all year long. You can send good cheer, indeed.

You can buy T-shirts, Ohio lighthouse note cards, prints, blankets, flags, lapel pins and other Ohio jewelry, and a wide variety of Ohio-made gifts from the Statehouse. Great for those new to the state, and lifers as well.

Theatre goers on your list? Columbus Area Performing Arts offers gift certificates that can be used toward performances and events at the Palace Theatre, the Ohio Theatre, and other venues, and even on merchandise at The Theatre Shop.

Ohio River Bears, Made in (Ohio) USA are perfect for little ones and any one who likes bears--the teddy ones, not the ones that growl and eat raw meat. Want to see your gift in stitches? You can, by touring the factory in Middleport, Ohio. Details available at the site, above.
