Happy Thursday, my daughter and I spent last evening at the Uptown Mall checking out all the local stores and working on her christmas list. She only wants clothes this year which works for me. We stopped by Paint 'n Fun Ceramics to view all the items available to paint. They have a wide selection of christmas decorations, plates, mugs, animals, and so much more. We also purchased a few shirts in Tea & Totally Gifts. Bailey loves the Simply Southern merchandise especially anything with animals. La Bella Donna Cherie is a fun ladies store with all the latest trends. The recently opened Insta Worthy Selfies & Sweets is out of this world! Shopping local allows us to keep our malls full of small businesses and we are grateful for each of them. Stop by Uptown Mall this weekend and tell us what you find that you love. Make a purchase from any business in our Shop Local Guide and you can submit your receipt to us for a chance to win your purchase up to $100, email mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com.
We have also shared our 2022 Holiday Lights Guide in this newsletter. Please help us add to this guide.
If your business would like to be included in our Shop Local and Holiday Services Guide please email us at mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com.
