UNIQUE GIFTS

One Shopper's Endorsement Of Lola's For Gifts!

 

I truly love buying gifts, and some of my favorite gift recipients are my beloved great nieces and nephews and grandlad. For one reason or another, I've often found myself just a tad desperate before gift-giving occasions --haven't we all?  Sadly, there have been times when I end up dashing through the aisles of a certain huge chain store, which isn't exactly what I'd planned!

Good news!  My days of gift despair have ended, because I have found Lola's!  Honestly -- you have to see to see the fabulous kid stuff!  While my Grandlad was here last week, we got a really cool book about classic, old-time baseball stars. Look at those awesome illustrations!

I also made a really, really cool art piece for his room, using vintage game cards and pages from old dictionaries. Sounds odd, I know, but look at the results!  I love personal gifts!  He told me that it is in his room, and that makes me very happy!  

I went back to Lola's just this morning and picked up more cards, more dictionary pages and a frame!  Later this afternoon, I'll whip up another art piece for my significant other and myself!  It won't take long!  And who would have thought I'd find the perfect gift for my Dad's upcoming 89th birthday! Think about it!  What older guy doesn't love to eat, new restaurants, road trips and Alton Brown?  Check out Lola's for gifts!  And let me know what you found!
