This Sunday is Father’s Day and I need to get a gift for the best Father in the world and that would be my Dad!
As you can imagine, I wasn’t the easiest child to raise and he and my Mom had a lot of patience and they have always shown their support for me. Even when I’m doing some kooky thing they don’t understand!
My Dad told me not to get him anything, like he does every year, but I want to get him a card and something that will be fun to open. And when you’re looking for a fun gift, there’s only one place to go to in Peoria: Relics Gift Shop!
Here we are at Relics Gift Shop, if you’ve never been here, check out these photos and then stop by today for the most unique Father’s Day present in the world!
I went in and met Karis who was behind the plastic sanitation cover at the front counter. I told her I loved her Beatles t-shirt and she told me she got it at Younger Than Yesterday record shop! That’s too funny because we featured them in yesterday’s blog!
Karis told me she’s a photographer specializing in portrait photography. Check out her fabulous work by clicking right here.
Okay, now let’s take a look around in here and find this week’s local Pandemic Purchase!
Let’s start over in this corner. Check out the local Peoria products, there’s Mr. Rogers and I love the sticker made by my friend, Chelsie Tamms from Lettering Works!
The top piece of art is by local artist Tanya Bayer, you can see more of her work by clicking right here.
I love the DAD cards and the card below, I think that will be part of my Pandemic Purchase this week!
These leather wristbands are also locally made here in Peoria by Elizabeth Castor from Magnolia Studios. Very nice!
Suddenly…socks!
These earrings are made in Hanna City and there’s a table of tiny handmade cars.
I can identify with this trio of fun gift items!
I love this place, but all good things come to an end and it’s time to check out of here!
There’s Karis ringing me up behind the plastic sanitation screen.
Here’s this week’s local Pandemic Purchase!
It’s the special Father’s Day Edition! I got the amazing father card, the Mr. Rogers magnet, Chelsie’s sticker and the DAD cards.
Luckily my Dad doesn’t have a computer, so his surprise won’t be spoiled this Sunday!
If you’re looking for a unique Father’s Day gift, look no further than Relics Gift Shop, they’re open right now, so stop on by and shop locally everyone!
