The best places in Elizabethtown to buy your last minute holiday gifts.
Whisk Cafe-
While Whisk Cafe, located alongside Masonic Homes on Masonic Drive, is primarily a restaurant, the cozy cafe also carries a few items for purchase. Displayed on shelving toward the back of the Cafe, Whisk features local artisan soaps from Girl Crush. The soaps are cheerfully colored, and a selection feature Christmas designs. However, most of the cafe’s gift selection consists of coffee themed knick-knacks, such as signs with phrases perfect for stirring laughter (pictured right) and colorful mugs perfect for your favorite coffee-lover! Whisk Cafe is open daily from 6 am to 2 pm.

Trellis Marketplace-
Bursting at the seams with gift potential, Trellis Marketplace features locally-crafted products from a variety of local vendors. Quite a few tables are filled with necklaces, earrings, and bracelets of all sorts. However, most of the merchandise consists of body products such as soaps, facial scrubs, cleansers, lip balms, and essential oils. Other retailers carry a number of home-decorating items, including gorgeous Christmas wreaths, pottery and planters, candles, and cheery signs to display throughout the house. Trellis even has a cabinet filled with packaged sweets and candies perfectly suited for a younger audience. All things considered, Trellis Marketplace is definitely targeted towards a more feminine customer, but we recommend visiting for the sheer number of goods Trellis has to offer. Trellis Marketplace is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm.
