Celebrate Local - Shop The Best of Ohio

I'm so glad I discovered Celebrate Local at Easton Town Center. As a lover of all things local, this place is like heaven. It's filled to the brim with locally made items, everything from food to clothing, home decor, jewelry, wine, and more. It's definitely a great place to shop for a thoughtful gift. You can certainly find something special here. On my last visit I walked out with a delicious sugar cookie and a jar of elderberry jam, both made right here in Columbus! The staff here is very informed on the items in the store and where they come from. They can also fill you in on the stories behind them, which is very cool. If you haven't stopped in for a visit, I suggest you make it a priority.

Very neat spot for anything and Ohio: from apparel through libations (plus everything in between). This vast selection makes it a cool place to browse. They were indeed crowded when we visited. Great to see so many folks proud of where they live and celebrating local!

Celebrate Local is always a great choice for local favorites, and during the pandemic is no exception! While the shop is closed, their online site is active and packed full of goodies to peruse. They have an April promocode available at the top of the site for your order, and you can do free pick up at the Easton location, if you'd like. I opted to pay for shipping and it was hand delivered, carefully packed, a few days after I placed the order, with a thank you note and small American flag included - nice touches. If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Celebrate Local before, I highly recommend you do so once it reopens, but in the meantime, check out their site to find Ohio apparel for babies, kids, and adults, jewelry, food items like sauces, snacks, coffee and tea, homegoods, bath/hair products, and fun things for your pets! It's a great option for gifts too - quite a bit of my virtual visit was dedicated to picking out just the right gift options and the venture was most successful. Celebrate Local is always a great choice for your Columbus and Ohio needs (and things you didn't know you needed!)

Pandemic update: I visited for some Christmas shopping, and it is still great. Not busy on a weekday, the usual precautions. Loads of local Ts, food, jewelry, etc. Things you just won't see anywhere else, gathered all in one spot. Don't come hungry- you'll buy too many snacks.

Cute little shop that showcases work created by local artists. If you are looking for souvenirs or even a gift, definitely check Celebrate Local out!

A fantastic place to get some unique OHIO gifts for friends and family. There are tons of gift shops in town, but their selection is limited to OSU items (which can be offensive to some of my friends, lol). So I was looking for a place to get gifts that represent the State of OH, especially for my friends that still think Ohio is the same as Idaho. Their products are very extensive, from OH made food, salsa, bakery mix, to jewelry, wooden boxes and shot glasses. A great place if you are looking for one stop unique gift shop for people back at home without looking like a tourist.

I had this place on my list of places to try and I wasn't disappointed in the least. Celebrate local is a small business that focuses on things made in Ohio. You can purchase anything such as refrigerated food, wine and spirits,Ohio beer, honey, and other foods and jellies, as well as various arts and crafts. Naturally most things are focused on the "Buckeye" and of course Ohio State University but is has a nice blend of different curios you can purchase. They also have holiday ornaments, cards, signs, even art work behind the cashier's wall were artist's can paint something on a square block. They had samples of their popcorn at the entrance. It was to die for!I was intrigued with mittens that were made out of old sweaters. They had a fleece lining and were machine washable. Each one had different patterns but they were all the same size. Sure enough I found one in black and gold! Alright for my Pittsburgh teams! I had to buy them and am looking forward to wearing them when the weather gets frigid. This is truly a not to be missed store. It is very charming and well worth my visit.

I haven't always been the friendliest person toward Easton, but my tune has changed in recent years -- and I owe that to Celebrate Local. Seriously, IMO CL is the cornerstone for everything local that's happening here. (They started the movement that brought in favorites like Northstar, and Jeni's.)I love all the Ohio goods stores around the city, but CL is hands-down my favorite. Some of the other spots can get a bit crafty for my taste, while Celebrate Local is truly a shopping experience. Some of my favorite things they carry include:-Ohio t-shirts! This is one of the finest collections in the city.-Local cards. Anytime I send a card, I make sure it's one that's made locally, and CL has the best selection.-Food products, like Ohio honey, jams and jellies, beef jerky, Bake Me Happy treats -- even high-quality eggs and meat!-Ohio wines, beer, and spirits.The prices at CL are also reasonable, which means shopping here doesn't have to be an occasional treat (although shopping here is totally a treat). The staff is all really friendly, and they'll go out of their way to help you with anything you're looking for. I love that Celebrate Local isn't *just* a retail store -- they're a small business incubator that loves nurturing their vendors and helping them succeed. You can feel their genuine passion for the community with everything they do.

Wow, I am so disappointed because I loved this store and their products but their customer service is seriously lacking.Last year they ran a promo during the holidays that if you spend $100, you get a $10 dollar gift card. My mother in law and I both spent over $100 dollars and it took 20 minutes for the employee to figure out how to activate the gift card. The employee called their boss, after telling me that their boss specifically told them NOT to call them while their off(ummm awkward.) The boss didn't answer but eventually called back and walked the employee through the process. We each received a 10 dollar gift card... or so we thought.I go to the store to redeem the gift card and the employee tells me that it is not authorized. I told her the story of last year and how I got them. She calls her manager, who again does not answer. Eventually she got a hold of her regional manager who said that I need a receipt in order to redeem the giftcards...This was almost 12 months ago...no, I do not carry around 12 month old receipts. She offered me a coupon for my next purchase.. are you serious? Unfortunately a coupon won't come in handy since I won't shop at a place with such terrible customer service. So disappointed. I'm all about supporting local but I guess I'm going to have to do that elsewhere.

When making a list of stores that I couldn't miss during my brief visit to Easton Town Center, Celebrate Local was at the top of the list! From food, wine, and beer to apparel, accessories, artwork, and random tchotchkes, this store carries a little bit of everything representing Ohio. This is the perfect shop to do Christmas shopping for the Ohio native that has it all.
