This year, skip the big-box frenzy and let Spooner’s hometown shops and services inspire your gift giving. Below are ideas to make your holiday shopping meaningful and fun!
Treasure Hunts On Walnut Street
Walnut Street is often the downtown heartbeat and houses much of Spooner’s shopping scene. Below is a sneak peak of what you can find on Walnut Street but we highly recommend grabbing your favorite shopping friends and checking it out for yourself.

Ladies Night Out & Holiday Shopping Events
One of the season’s highlights in Spooner is the Ladies Night Out — a community evening designed for fun, shopping, socializing, and specials from downtown shops. The 2025 event is on November 24.
Plan an evening with friends or family: stroll through shops offering extended hours, sip festive refreshments, enjoy holiday window displays, and take advantage of special promotions. It’s a perfect way to combine shopping with a festive outing.
This holiday season, every purchase you make in Spooner is more than just a gift — it’s a nod to your neighbors, your hometown, and the character that makes our community unique. Shop local, shop thoughtfully, and enjoy the warm glow of giving with heart.
Happy holidays from the Spooner Chamber!
