25 local gifts in Wichita under $25: Hometown pride

It’s a common refrain in Wichita to “Support Your Local Anything.”

But for a lot of people, that phrase can be somewhat nebulous – that’s why, in the spirit of the holidays, The Eagle has compiled this gift guide for 2017, featuring 25 different local gifts that, when purchased, help support local businesses.

By no means will this list include all potential gift options from local businesses, as the $25 price limit can be fairly restrictive for higher-end stores. All of the stores featured here have a lot of inventory over $25 as well, for the big-spenders out there.

Local Band Albums @ $10-$20

Where to buy: Spektrum Musik, 905 W. Douglas

Hours: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Tues.-Sat., noon-5 p.m. Sun.

A local gift guide would be incomplete without including music by local bands. While there are tons of local releases worth listening to, a few options for the Wichitan just diving into the local music scene include Vehicles’ “Echo,” Aaron Lee Martin’s “Learned Behavior,” Faux Reality’s “Daybreak’s Lullaby,” Team Tremolo’s EP “Intruder,” or Miki Moondrops’ “Vegetable Head.”

Ever wanted to declare your love for Wichita on the wall, but just don’t know how? Try this Wichita pennant, made for Kevin Wildt’s We Are Wichita project.
