Whether it's chocolate, rose-scented bath fizzies or a wire angel to support breast cancer research, several Clinton Township shops offer last-minute shoppers a wide selection of Christmas gifts that also support the local economy.

Here are just a few:

Fred Sanders launched the now legendary brand on June 17, 1875. Sanders Chocolates eventually spread throughout the state and remain one of the sweetest parts of Michigan history.

From classic treats like chocolate molded Santas and ribbon candy, to a four-pack of Sanders' ice cream toppings and whole bumpy cakes, Morley sells most items in the Sanders product line.
