DISCOVER UNIQUE GIFTS AT THE GIFT SHOP AT WAWASEE

It brings me great joy to personally curate items for you to discover and enjoy. Many of these pieces are my personal favorites—things I love and have in my own home. While we carry several recognizable brands in our store, our website highlights unique items designed and created by us.

Our Story

Where Meaning Meets Craft

The Gift Shop at Wawasee was built on a simple idea—create pieces that feel personal, meaningful, and unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else. From a young age, I’ve always loved creating with my hands—drawn to handmade goods, unique finds, and items that tell a story. What started as a passion quickly became something more. On October 10, 2016, that passion became our shop. From Small Beginnings to Something Beautiful We began in a small 300-square-foot space with a big vision. Today, we’ve grown into a destination filled with custom gifts, personalized products, and thoughtfully curated lake-inspired items—and as we approach our 10-year anniversary, we’re more inspired than ever.

Why It Matters

We believe shopping local matters. There’s something powerful about walking into a space where you can see, touch, and experience products—and even more meaningful when you can create something that’s uniquely yours. That’s the heart behind everything we do.

Custom, Personal, One-of-a-Kind

Our specialty is bringing ideas to life. Whether you’re looking for custom engraved gifts, personalized lake merchandise, or one-of-a-kind keepsakes, we work with you to create something truly special. And no matter how many times we do it—it never stops being meaningful.

Inspired by Lake Life

Located in Syracuse, Indiana, near beautiful Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake, we’re proud to be part of a vibrant lake community. We design and carry lake-themed gifts and souvenirs so visitors can take a piece of their favorite memories home with them.

More Than a Store—An Experience

We’re not just a place to shop—we’re a place to explore. We want you to walk in, discover something new, and feel inspired. Maybe you find the perfect item. Maybe you come back next time. Either way—you’re always welcome here.

Always Creating, Always Evolving

We’re constantly bringing in new products, new designs, and new ideas—because we love what we do, and we love sharing it with you.
