Do you ever get tired of buying gift cards that may never be used from national stores? Do you wish for locally owned fun little shops and boutiques to walk into and want to buy something as a gift and something for yourself? We have a few throughout the tri-county area that may be of interest to you!

Relics – two locations (Peoria and East Peoria) and tons to see. They have a Peoria section with shirts, coasters, mugs, kitchen towels, stickers, and so much more. Great house plants, fun games, great socks, obscure sayings on many household items. Fantastic greeting card selection. Many of the items are by local artists. Local supporting local.
