I loved how much the shop leans into holidays and it was already decked out with Valentine's items in early January.

I recommend giving them a visit if yourself strolling between the shops and restaurants of downtown New Glarus.

I admit, the quality on many of these products are good. But there is a deception at work, and that…read moreis photographs of the product that make them look two to four times bigger than they are. Swiss colony puts the net weight into the description, but that does not put into perception the actual size of the items that you or your gift recipients will be receiving. Take the summer sausages, for example. About five ounces each. The pictures make them look like a foot long, but in reality they fit in the palm of your hand. Yesterday, I was shopping for cookies for a friend. They only had raspberry-filled center cookies. $30 for one pound of cookies! What? plus another $12 for shipping puts it at $42 a pound. They're like those Pepperidge Farm cookies in the white bags that are about $7.00 each. I have an $800 line of credit with them, but The Swiss Colony and all their subsiderary companies, like Seventh Avenue, Montgomery Ward, Midnight Velvet, Country Door, Monroe & Main, Ashro, Ginny's, The Tender Filet, Midwest Catalog Brands, including The Wisconsin Cheeseman and AmeriMark, are a terrible ripoff. Most gift sites are expensive, but The Swiss Colony exemplifies "shrinkflation". Their products always look much bigger than they are, which is the number one complaint even on their own website.

The Wisconsin Cheeseman is a good place to find edible gifts, and other things by mail. They have…read moretheir own in-house credit, with a usual starting limit of $400. All the gifts are under that, and many under $100 so it is easy to buy many gifts for the money. BE WARNED, however, the pictures make the gifts look three times bigger than they really are. Look at the net weight of each item carefully. The average price is about $18 a pound up to $25 a pound. Take for instance the one-pound sausage gift--it looks huge, about 18" across when in fact it is half of that, barely the distance between your thumb and little finger spread out (in ancient times, what they called a "span"). And the sausages themselves look huge, but they are barely 4" long! And the rule of thumb for every gift site is to get rid of older product first, so if you order here, it's a roll of the dice. You can call customer service and place an order that way and specify to please send FRESH product or they will get a bad review here. There is just no telling how fresh your gift will be and NONE of them look like the pictures. This holds true for every gift site, include this one's sister site, The Swiss Colony. They are not nearly as big as the pictures make them out to be so---don't be too disappointed now that you have the lowdown.

A holiday staple Living in the Rockford area…read more My Family has been visiting for as long as I can remember and we always have a good time. We always meet our close friends and their family. A tradition that started with 4 or 5 of us and has grown to 8. We have not actually bought a Tree from there in years (They're Overpriced) but our friends always do, they love the tradition of cutting their own tree, their oldest son has taken on the responsibility, something he is very proud of. There is obviously MUCH MUCH more than just trees though, Our kids love the animals, santa, snacks, and shops. We always bring a few adult beverages to chat around the outdoor firepits, spend quality time together roaming the property, petting the animals, indulging their delicious foods and making new memories. Williams is without a doubt the best option in the Rockford Area and I would highly recommend bringing your family and friends.

I contacted GG because we were replacing an original single pane window on our Queen Anne Victorian and I was looking for something with a little...color. Boy did they deliver! Not only did they help us with finding some traditional styles, they also spent a ridiculous amount of time picking out glass with us that matches the other original stained glass in our home. They even worked with me when I wanted to combine a few different ideas into my "vision". It took awhile for them to finish the window, but it was worth the wait. We just had it installed and I am amazed at how majestic it looks. It's such high quality and the craftsmanship, dear lord. Mind you, it wasn't cheap, but God was it worth every penny!

I bumped into this great little country antique shop on one of my weekend wanderings around Galena…read more Although the mailing address is Elizabeth, the store is actually located in central Schapville, a small village between Elizabeth and Scales Mound. And not to easy to find, I may add. There are lots of unmarked divergent paths out here in the boonies! So just keep an open mind and an adventuresome spirit. Schapville is so small that there are only two "stores," this one and the pop machine next door. When I arrived, I was greeted by a very friendly old dog named Stanley. This is a seasonal business, so you need to come between May and October. The store is a beautifully renovated old grange space used by area farmers. It offers a selection of fine antiques, and a nice array of same on two floors, a cooler with local cheeses (they were featuring one of my favorites that day-Iowa Maytag Bleu.) There is soda, homemade jams and jellies and other condiments, and fresh eggs from the owner's chickens. There is kind of an overall chicken theme going on here, just short of chicken worship, I would stay. The owner, Donna, is a fun and interesting person to chat with. Free fresh popcorn, too. There's a wood stove with a fire near the front and a seating area which is very inviting. Definitely a must-stop in Jo Daviess County if you are looking for a nice little jaunt out of Galena, or doing a day trip in the area east of The Galena Territory. The scenery is superb.
