Looking for unique gifts that you can pick-up locally? Enter Inner Light, our favorite infrared sauna spot. In addition to the sauna services, Inner Light offers a wellness boutique. We’ve tapped owner & founder Kelly Ingraham (who’s a twin mama and Darien native) to put together a few of her favorite gift offerings in the shop. What we love is that their selection of skincare, body care, books, crystals and more are all about self-care and everything is affordably priced. Even better, each brand is owned and operated by a female founder. Inner Light is conveniently located right off Exit 11 of I-95 in the Darien Sport Shop parking lot, behind Websters Bank.
