At The Stash of Waconia, gratitude is more than a seasonal word. It’s how we work. Multiple times a year, we partner with local organizations for fundraising nights that bring neighbors together. These evenings are about more than numbers. They’re little gatherings where conversations happen and people feel seen and supported. We highlight these groups’ missions, share the stage, and celebrate the volunteers and teams who keep Waconia thriving. Beyond the events, we try to be a steady partner. From toy drives to small collaborations with nearby makers, we believe shopping local should feel extra personal.

As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded that shopping local is one of the simplest ways to give back to the community we love. Every gift purchased from a local business helps support a family, create local jobs, and keep our downtown vibrant and full of life. When you shop small, you’re not just checking a name off your holiday list. You’re discovering unique gifts, supporting your neighbors, and helping ensure that the small-town charm we all love continues to thrive.
At The Stash, we love helping customers find those just-right gifts, whether it’s a cozy sweater for someone special, a little something unexpected, or a thoughtful treasure for the person who has everything. We’re grateful for every visit, every purchase, and every time someone chooses to spend their dollars right here in Waconia. Those choices make a difference, especially during the holidays, and we never take that support for granted.

This holiday season, we encourage everyone to explore our local shops, meet the people behind the businesses, and experience the joy of giving gifts with a little more meaning. When our community supports local, we all have something to be thankful for.
