* This post is in partnership with Ohio Find it Here.
Last month I featured some amazing places to eat in Downtown Toledo. I’m so excited to partner with Ohio Find it Here again and sharing with you some amazing downtown local shops to consider when looking for that perfect gift. If you’re looking for something unique or one of a kind, you will most definitely find it in one of these downtown shops.
During these uncertain times, these local businesses are working hard to ensure the safety of you and their staff. All shops require face masks at all times to enter and shop. Some shops have put limitations on how many customers they are allowing in their shop, with a few requiring appointments to browse. I’d suggest calling ahead to get all of the needed information. All shops listed below have an online shop with delivery and/or curbside pick options available.

Give the gift of Toledo pride this season with a fun T-shirt from Jupmode. I have a few myself and the quality is exceptional! They fit great and the best part of the T-shirt is how soft they are. Jupmode is a Toledo-based retailer located in the heart of downtown. Their “goal has always been to create and foster a sense of pride in the city of Toledo by remembering our past and highlighting the new wave of excitement happening today.” However you’re connected to Toledo, Jupmode you “to feel proud of this city and give you a way to show off that pride.”
In addition to T-shirts, Jupmode carries an awesome selection of hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, hats, socks, just to name a few. You will also find gifts for the Ohioan, Midwesterner, or Michigander in your life. Gift cards are available at both Jupmode locations as well as online at wwww.jupmode.com. This holiday season, Jupmode is offering curbside pick-up at their Adams Street location. Just place your order online, then wait for a confirmation that your order is ready, then pull up to the Curbside Pick Up area at the storefront.
