When I was growing up, my mother would shop for gifts throughout the year and pack them onto the top two shelves of her closet until just the right housewarming, graduation, or birthday came along. It’s no wonder that I would eventually open my own store, where I too would shop year-round for treasures to be gifted (this time by others), and the hunt still fills me with delight.If you’re anything like me (or my mother), you understand that finding a great gift for an even better price is the icing on the cake.
