Ah, November. The month where we all collectively agree to start panic-shopping, pretend we’re done before December, and then—surprise!—we’re not.

But this year, we’re proposing something radical: shop local.
And by “local,” we obviously mean us.
At Lamy’s, you’re not just supporting a business—you’re supporting a massive historic building that used to crank out Levi’s jeans and now cranks out high-end cocktails, great food, killer candles, and absolutely unnecessary (but you’re still gonna buy them) gifts.

Welcome to your one-stop-holiday-chaos-management-center.

Let’s dive in.

When You Shop Local, More Money Stays Local.

When you shop at Lamy’s, your dollars stay right here in Sedalia instead of jet-setting off to some billionaire’s offshore account. Unless our bartenders are secret billionaire’s. Now that we think about it…one does travel often…

Your money helps keep lights on, keeps wine flowing, keeps candles pouring, and—most importantly—keeps us in business so we can keep being your favorite historic landmark.

But enough about the economics lesson you didn’t ask for.
Let’s talk about the fun stuff.

Your Official Guide to Holiday Shopping at Lamy’s

Josey Records: Black Friday Gold & Gifts for Every List

Josey isn’t just vinyl (though honestly, the vinyl alone could carry the holiday season on its back).

This November, they’re gearing up for Black Friday Record Store Day — aka the annual Olympics for music lovers. New drops, special releases, limited editions… the kind of stuff that makes collectors sweat a little. Plus…we’ve been known to rock a little bit of chaos…aka “Lack of crowd control” according to one very irritated Karen on Google Reviews.

But if you’re shopping for someone who:

• Doesn’t own a record player
• Doesn’t know what a B-side is
• Or thinks vinyl is “that trendy décor in coffee shops”

…fear not. Josey has everything:

• Books
• CDs
• Games
• Stickers
• Posters
• Music-themed gifts
• Pop-culture weirdness you didn’t know you needed but suddenly… need

It’s the perfect stop for stocking stuffers, nostalgia gifts, and that one hard-to-shop-for person who claims they “don’t need anything.”
(We’ll find something for them. Trust.)

No. 5 Bistro & Bar: Because the Best Gift Is Brunch… and Also Lunch… and Also Dinner

Holiday shopping is a contact sport, and you need sustenance.
Enter No. 5 Bistro & Bar, your official holiday refueling station.

Sure, Saturday brunch is basically our love language — but we’re also serving up lunch and dinner Thursday through Saturday, because your hunger does not take holidays and neither do we (until December 21, anyway). Plus…have you seen our Instagram? We’re kind of awesome.

So whether you’re:

• Grabbing a mid-day bite before tackling your gift list,
• Spoiling your friends with a dinner out,
• Or simply avoiding your own kitchen like it wronged you…

We’ve got you.
Warm meals, strong drinks, zero judgment.

And don’t forget holiday catering or letting us host your party — nothing says “festive” like letting someone else handle the food, the dishes, and the cleanup of Aunt Linda’s glitter sweater.

The Candle Lab by Lamy’s: Your “I Totally Meant to Get You Something Thoughtful” Stop

Hand-poured candles in upcycled bottles.
Local craftsmanship.
Scents with story.
And the kind of gift that makes people say, “OMG where did you get this?” so you can casually toss your hair and say, “Oh, Lamy’s.”

Bonus: they burn long enough to last through at least three Hallmark movies and one family argument. Unless you’re fighting about politics. A’int nobody got a candle burning long enough for that.

Upcycled by Lamy’s: For the Person Who Says They Don’t Want Anything

They’re lying.
Everyone wants something.
Especially something cool and slightly bougie made out of old wine bottles.

Bird feeders, Vino Vines, wind chimes—honestly, your neighbors will be jealous.
And maybe stop stealing your Amazon packages. (We can dream.)

Suites at 412 by Lamy’s: For Guests You Like… and the Ones You Don’t

Your kids are coming home.
Your cousin who ate all your leftovers last year? Yep, they’re probably coming too.

Solution: book them a Suite.
It’s stunning, cozy, walkable to everything, and best of all—you don’t have to share a bathroom.
Win-win.
