"Your website makes ordering gifts online feel like a personal experience. It was so easy, so quick and you covered everything!"
~ Jennifer Eidt in TN
Since we ❤️ retail at Shop Local, we’re happy to share that a Paris museum has documented the history of department stores over two centuries. Much of what we know today about retail from indie stores to Amazon dates back to these stores.
