Do you have a Green Bay Packers fan (or two or three) on your holiday shopping list? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Visiting Green Bay to knock out a bunch of your Christmas shopping is not only a smart idea, it’s a fun way to spend the day!
Here is a round-up of recommendations for places to go to find Packers-themed Christmas gifts your friends and family will absolutely love:
First Stop: Packers Pro Shop
There’s one logical place to start the hunt for Packers-themed Christmas gifts, and that’s the Packers Pro Shop, located on the first floor of the Lambeau Field atrium. Here, you’re going to find everything from bobbleheads to dog toys to official jerseys. You can even get the superfan on your list their very own wacky inflatable arm flailing tube Santa!
Packers Hall of Fame
If you’re shopping for someone who loves experiences over things, stop by the Packers Hall of Fame and pick up a gift card. It can be used for Hall of Fame admission, Lambeau Field Stadium Tours, or both for a full day of Packers fun. You can also give the gift of membership, available in individual, dual, and family packages, which come with added perks and options.
Tennpack Throwbacks
If the person you’re shopping for is a fan of vintage treasures, stop into Tennpack Throwbacks, located in the Stadium District on Holmgren Way. You never know what you’re going to find when you walk in (that’s the beauty of thrifting), but the owner, Sterling, tries hard to make sure he has lots of Packers items at all times. In fact, he has an entire room dedicated to football items. You might just find that ’90s era jersey that would complete your collection!
Seroogy’s Chocolates
If you’ve never had the pleasure of popping a Seroogy’s chocolate into your mouth, you are in for a treat. Literally. While you’re in the Stadium District, you can pop into their Ashwaubenon location and find all kinds of stocking stuffers for the Packers fan on your list. They have chocolate footballs, chocolate cheeseheads, green and gold foil stars, and more! Get yourself a meltaway bar while you’re there, too. Trust us.
School House
Right next door to Seroogy’s in Ashwaubenon is School House, a locally owned toy and teacher supply store. You might be wondering why this store would be on this list, but they actually have a great Green Bay Packers display right when you walk in, with all kinds of family-friendly gifts for fans. For example, they have Green Bay Packers Baby Paper, Green Bay Packers Spot It, and so many other affordable and fun gifts you won’t find anywhere else.
Gnome Games
Speaking of games, Gnome Games is one of Green Bay’s most popular game stores, and they have a few Packers items in stock that would make great gifts. First, if anyone you know uses dice to play any kind of RPG games, you’ll want to stop in and get the cheesehead dice. They’re very one-of-a-kind. In addition to the dice, they also carry a few Packers-themed games, and they often have Green Bay Packers puzzles in stock, too!
LoCo Wisco
Heading out of the Stadium District, you absolutely must stop at LoCo Wisco for all of your Packers-related gifting needs. This place has everything: vinyl stickers, sweatshirts, t-shirts, postcards, art prints, green and gold popcorn, swizzle sticks, cheese-shaped soap, tundra-themed BBQ sauce, coffee mugs, candles, ornaments… we could literally go on and on. Just trust us and make sure this is one of your holiday shopping stops!
Smith's Mercantile
This is another cute boutique shop that should be on your must-shop list. Located in Downtown De Pere, Smith’s Mercantile is perfect for finding items that show off your fandom. They have stuff for everyone, but perhaps the cutest items in their store right now are the baby and kids’ shirts that say “Future Draft Pick” and “Cutest Little Cheese Curd.” It can be tricky to find good Packers items for little ones, and this place has it on lock.
Bosse’s News & Tobacco
Very close to Smith’s, you’ll find Bosse’s News & Tobacco. This is another unexpected but great place to find Packers-themed gift items. They have stocking stuffers like keychains, magnets, stickers, can koozies, coasters, and other things like that. But they also have a great selection of Packers books and magazines. You can find books written by legends like Bob Harlan and LeRoy Butler, and Willie Davis. They’re happy to help you find the best gift at Bosse’s!
This should give you a pretty good start on your holiday shopping! And if you need a little more help while you’re visiting Green Bay, you can always stop into the Visitor Center, and we’ll be happy to give you more personalized recommendations!
