For the second week of this eight week holiday journey we’ll be traveling to one of my favorite shops in Peoria: Relics.
I think Relics has the most unique and fun inventory in Peoria, so let’s head on over and pick out a gift for a total stranger!
Here we are at Relics at their new location on Sheridan Road.
The sign says they’re open, so let’s go on in and start this pre-holiday adventure!
The store is packed with fun inventory and there’s owner Deb with Nadia behind the front counter.
I had a nice conversation with them and then started taking some shots of this unique and fun shop!
There’s some really interesting Xmas items in here you won’t find at any other shop or on the internet, you have to come on in and check it out!
I love all of the items in here that celebrate Peoria!
Deb truly keeps it local in here!
Here’s Becky who said she was enjoying the local shopping experience here in Relics.
There’s so many fun items in here, it’s a blast browsing around the shop.
Where else are you going to find a boobs bag?
It’s so nice to see Mr. Rogers represented in here!
Here’s Deb with Donna, who rescued a brick from the store over on Glen and University that got tore down to make way for an evil carwash I’ll never go through!
Donna said she was a fan of the blog and that’s always flattering to hear. Thanks, Donna!
As you can see, there’s a large selection of house plants up in the front of the shop.
Here’s more holiday items on display.
Okay, I’ve purchased this week’s gift items for the next customer that comes into the store and that customer is…
Isaac!
Here I am presenting him with the MBIP Relics Xmas Gift Bag!
He got the Peoria Pillows and the “Peoria - It’s Not So Bad” t-shirt!
Happy Holidays Isaac!
Mary Crimble every bunny!
Thanks to Deb for a fun afternoon and for curating one of Peoria’s most fun and unique shops!
