During this pandemic, we could all use a break. With holidays coming up, some of us are wondering how we're going to pull it off, and not that gift-giving is the most important, but, let's face it, it's nice to do, or at least have a little extra to do something nice with the family. So... here it goes.
A fun morsel in the West Racine business district is Refined Salvage & Pallet Design, where you can find some fun, interesting, unique items for your house, as a gift, and these are perfect for those who just got into their 1st home!
While you're there, stop by at Wilson's Coffee & Tea, because they really have the best coffee, and stop in to get some kringle at Bendtsen's Bakery. They definitely have the BEST kringle, this side of the Atlantic. Then there's Gold Bear Trading Company, all here in the same business district, on the same side of the street. Please don't forget to check out the new bakery, which offers items that aren't at the Danish places, and pick up your Christmas cookies from Nissi's Cake Room!
Downtown, there's Lighthouse Gallery & Gifts, perfect for out of town people you're sending gifts to. Their items range from pictures to T's to coffee mugs, all featuring Racine, WI! I remember stopping in at Plumb Gold LTD as a college student when I'd ride the bus all over, and would walk down to check them out. They just expanded, and have a 2nd store, called Plumb Silver. I haven't been there, so I'd love to check that out someday as well.
I also have friends who could use a boost for the holidays, and here are some of what they can offer...
Kira T - Rustic Stone Jewelry & Gifts - please order on Etsy for your unique gift to your special gals in your life!
Mike Phipps - for your computer needs - he can fix your laptop & desktop at a great price, guarantees his work, & is better than many of these places where you spend an arm and a leg for... When you message him, please also ask about vintage gaming units & classic games he has available. Perfect again, for gift giving this holiday season!
Laura Fogel - She is a professional Mary Kay dealer, and can help you from skincare to makeup, men & women both!
Lika's Professional Resume Services - ask me what I can do for you, so you get an interview, even during this pandemic. You're worth the investment, right? Do it for you!
Because I need money, just to get to the end of the year... I'll have to figure out next year after the 1st... I also have these items for sale. Please message me - lika.yvi@gmail.com if you're interested:
