The beauty of Haymaker is that everything in the shop is made regionally, like in Chi-town or the Great Lakes Basin. And we love locally made stuff. If you're looking for stuff to stuff stockings or gifts for cool city-dwelling folks who like to keep it local- Haymaker has the goods for you. From synthetic baby hands to a toast buttering board, you're likely to find quirky stuff within.
