Are you constantly on the hunt for that perfectly creative gift idea to surprise and delight a loved one? Creating a series of adventure envelopes for a loved one turns gift-giving into a memorable journey, filled with surprises, personal touches, and excitement. This innovative approach allows you to curate experiences that are tailored to their interests, making each reveal an adventure in itself. This “business” of crafting adventure envelopes is more than a gift; it’s an experience, a journey, and a testament to the thought and care put into making a loved one feel special. It’s a reminder that the best gifts don’t always come in packages, but in envelopes filled with adventures waiting to be unveiled. Would you like to bestow the gift of an unforgettable experience near or around the Chippewa Valley (and beyond) but find yourself short on time to orchestrate the details? Leave the coordination to me. Treat yourself or someone dear to you with the invaluable gift of an experience. Whether it's for Christmas, a birthday, anniversary, or wedding, these tailored experiences are meticulously crafted based on the details you provide below. Click on google doc here to submit your 'experience' request, I'll reach out to discuss specifics and availability before finalizing your order.

Tangled Up in Hue isn’t your run-of-the-mill art gallery, but rather a local art gallery and gift shop showcasing the work of over 150 artists and crafters. Weird, quirky, sassy, and fun describe the hand-crafted creations you’ll find here. It’s kitsch-with and edge and a whole lot more. Even Tangled Up in Hue staff joins in on the fun by collaborating to design and create an original line of art, jewelry, clothing, and accessories that celebrate the best parts of the Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin, Midwest, and Life.

Have you been thinking about designing custom apparel for your business, organization, group or charity? Well, look no further, because Tangled Up in Hue also offers in-house screen-printing services. From design to implementation, you’ll be showing off your new threads in no time.

If you’re looking for an interactive experience, stop down to Tangled on a Saturday or Sunday to participate in specialty “Pop & Shop” events. Patrons are given the opportunity to meet face-to-face with makers, ask questions, get advice, be inspired, and buy stuff. Oh, and roll up your sleeves because you just might have to get your hands dirty with a custom make-and-take project.

What’s more, you can feel good about shopping here, because Tangled Up in Hue gives back. Not only does the money you spend go directly in the hands of local artists and crafters, fueling the local economy, it also goes to support events, happenings, and partnerships at Tangled Up in Hue like the “Just Give” campaign, a quarterly fundraising effort in which TUIH partners with a local group, organization, charity, or non-profit working to uplift and brighten the Chippewa Valley. Tangled Up in Hue designs and produces limited edition apparel to highlight, celebrate, and raise funding for the partnership’s chosen cause or charity.

So, there you have it, Tangled Up in Hue in a nutshell: local folks, supporting local folks, creating a space where all folks can fall in love with our amazing EAU CLAIRE.
