MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - Hartok -- Next Door Creations has launched the Connecticut Holiday Gift Guide, a statewide project designed to help shoppers discover local gifts while giving small businesses another way to reach holiday customers.

The guide will feature gift ideas for children, teens, and adults, with categories covering food, books, clothing, jewelry, toys, experiences, and more. Gift cards are welcome.
Created by Connecticut business owner Lauryn Wendus, the guide features submissions from businesses across the state, with marketing professionals and community organizations helping spread the word to businesses and shoppers. A portion of participation fees will support advertising for the guide.

"Small-business owners already do so much themselves. I wanted to bring Connecticut gift ideas together in one place and put our marketing skills toward helping more people discover them," said Wendus.
Participation starts at $25, with a $50 option for prioritized placement. There are no sales commissions or additional required fees. Submissions close October 31, 2026.
