So, today I got tasked by my lovely, but maxed out wife, to figure out her Christmas gift for her employees. I remembered wandering through a couple of stores in the Gilman Village last year about this time, so figured I would head there and see if I could support a local small business! Boy, did I strike GOLD!!
I wandered in to "Lucky Home" and like a "fish out of water", had NO idea where to start. There are SOOOOO many unique, functional and down right cute items, it was a bit overwhelming at first. That's when Emily came to my rescue! I think she could tell I was out of my element, so she asked if she could help me find something. I shared my mission, my budget and she promptly threw out a few great ideas. I loved the idea of a hand-made cutting board and a Christmas towel or a charcuterie board, but I didn't have the budget approval. I eventually settled on a bunch of the cutest mugs, some hot cocoa mix and gorgeous candy canes. Simple, yet super festive! We then filled the mugs with a bunch of Seattle Chocolates.
It was quite a few mugs to wrap up and bag, so I asked what they had and Emily offered to not only wrap up each one, but to remove the price tags and everything! At the time, the store was super busy, so I offered to come back later to pick it all up after her team had a chance to wrap it and bag it. I got a call about 45 minutes later that it was all ready! Can't say enough about the service I got from Lucky You! Thank you for the help, Emily!
On another note, if your Christmas decorations need a "refresh", Lucky You should be your next stop! The store is packed with unique decorations that will turn any room into a "Christmas Wonderland"! read more
