Huntley from Matt's Crystal Lake Years

Huntley entered our story through childhood proximity and grew into its own mug.

For Matt, Huntley was a familiar neighboring town while he grew up in Crystal Lake. Creating its mug let us pay closer attention to the places that make Huntley distinct from the communities beside it.

A gift idea with a real place behind it

Huntley Town Square and Historic Huntley Depot give this design two points to recognize on a return visit. For someone who knows Huntley through trips rather than an address, pair the mug with a note about a particular stop or a plan to go back. It keeps the gift tied to an experience instead of a generic destination.
