Laura, owner of Wild Hunny Boutique, is here this week! We chat about her boutique and surprise her with the game: 'Finish the Christmas lyric'. It's a great listen!

Wild Hunny Boutique is a woman-owned local shop specializing in affordable, stylish, and giftable items — perfect for holiday shopping, everyday wear, and supporting local makers.

📍 Located at 1213 Riverside Drive, near the Riverwalk Shops in McHenry.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

These wardrobe add-ons help elevate any outfit and make perfect stocking stuffers.

🎁 Gifts & Local Artisans

This is one of the boutique’s strongest strengths — a curated gift selection that supports small makers:

  • Gift items and home pieces from local creators
