Giving gifts during the holiday season is a great way to show someone how much you care. Of course, it's not always easy to find the perfect gift for your cousin, teacher, coworker, or dear friend. When in doubt, it's always a good idea to go local. Greene County is home to many talented crafters, artisans, and collectors. The following are some of the most charming local places our real estate agents suggest for last-minute holiday shopping.
Cozy Melts is an art studio where you can make your own handmade gift for the special person in your life. They have stations for glazing pottery, creating mosaics, and even pouring acrylic paint. They have many different ceramic pieces ready for glazing, ranging from mugs to plates. You'll pick up your piece one week after you paint it since the shop will need to fire it for you.

There's something for everyone—kids, teens, and even kids-at-heart! If you're in the mood for some holiday magic, our real estate agents suggest attending one of these exciting events.
