Those looking to support local small businesses or buy Michigan-made goods can find shops all around metro Detroit.

Here's a few unique local businesses where you can find gifts for different kinds of folks on your list.

For the diehard Michigander: Detroit Can Company in Livonia

 

The Detroit Can Company offers gift basket-like cans full of locally-made products from Michigan-based companies. Can theme options range from snacks to personal care items. The small business is especially popular as a gift for employees and "people who have everything."

Aside from enjoying the Sanders chocolate, Carhartt hats or Vernors pop they'll find in their can, people can also keep and reuse the stylized paint cans that contain their gifts.

 

The company offers shipping from its warehouse in Livonia to anywhere in the world. People who live in the area can also schedule an appointment to pick up their order.

For the caffeine fiend: Coffee beans in downtown Farmington

 

Want to wow your coffee-loving friend? Skip the Starbucks and head to downtown Farmington for some beans roasted right here in metro Detroit.

Ground Control Coffee Roasters, 33319 Grand River Ave., and Blue Hat Coffee, 23715 Farmington Road, are both owned by self-proclaimed coffee fanatics who roast their own beans. Ground Control roasts its beans in Farmington, and Blue Hat's beans get roasted in Coldwater.

 

People can swing into either shop to buy beans in person or order Ground Control's beans online.

For the one who loves natural skincare: Blue Line Farms in Livonia

 

Blue Line Farms, 30655 Six Mile Road, is an urban farm in the middle of Livonia. The charming little farm offers farm visits for kids, events and goat yoga, but it also sells goat milk soap.
