'Tis nearly the season, and smart shoppers are planning ahead to start looking for potential gifts now. But why take a trip to NYC, or drive for miles to get to a humdrum strip mall, when some of the most unique and valuable gifts are right nearby in Lake George?

What are you looking for? It's almost certain that Lake George has it – from knitting gifts and supplies from the local store Knit Wit, to artful pieces from Adirondack Rustics Art, to designer clothing from the shops at Adirondack Outlet Mall or Lake George Factory Outlets -- and much more! Find a gift for every personality on your list here in Lake George.

For close people and family whose tastes you are familiar with, a nice article of clothing, designer jacket, shoes and other niceties can be found at the Lake George Factory Outlets, including the Adirondack Outlet Mall. You'll find an array of varied and high quality brands to suit everyone's taste!

Have someone on your list who loves the outdoors? Get them a trail guide for hiking, biking or kayaking from Common Man Books. These guides are easy enough to follow, even a beginner outdoorsman or woman will appreciate this gift!

For the picky person with fine taste on your list, visit Somewhere in Time.

Everybody knows a 'foodie' who would love nothing more for the holidays than a new mouthwatering taste. For sweet tooths, try Mapleland Farms, an establishment in nearby Salem which specializes in – you guessed it – maple! But far from only producing the pancake syrup (though their product is still delicious and worth a try), Mapleland Farms also produces maple candy, sugar, cream, and other tasty treats. These are unique gifts which any lover of sugar will thoroughly enjoy! You can also hit up the Silo Country Store & Restaurant to find some unique treasures or pick up a gift certificate for the foodie on your list!

For the wine enthusiast this year, visit Adirondack Winery. Besides the unique tastes offered by a microwinery's selection, which any collector or sensitive palate will appreciate, the Adirondack Winery also offers wine-related gifts and accessories, to enhance the enjoyment of anyone on the receiving end of your list!

Looking for something unique and from the heart? The Gift Cottage takes pride in its eclectic mix of gifts, from collectables to Scandinavian-themed gifts. Part of their tagline includes a boast that there is something for even the most difficult-to-buy-for person on your list this year.  Another spot to search for more unique gift ideas is the Corner Stone, with its spectrum of stuffed animals to nautical gifts. Both stores are located right in Lake George, and between both, even the most impossible names on your list will be crossed off!

Have a t-shirt from Manhattan or a sweatshirt from England that you treasure as a souvenir? Why not give some far-away relatives or local friends a way to show off some LG pride with LakeGeorge.com branded t-shirts, hoodies, caps, and other fun souvenirs to let everyone know where you come from (or where you you wish you were from!)
