This is why I love to shop in my small hometown stores…

1. I can have lunch with my mom for $10 (for both of us).

2. I can pick out my own Christmas presents at the store and they will hold it for my dad, wrap it, then send him the bill.

3. I can pick out Christmas presents on my lunch break and come back later and they are wrapped and ready to go under the tree.

4. I can tell the Jewelers what my mom wants at a party and they will order it the next day and wrap it before I pick it up on Wednesday.
