For jewelers, flower shop owners and chocolate
purveyors, the advent of Mother’s Day is an opportunity to showcase traditional
gifts for mom. Downtown Middletown offers an array of items to pick up for that
special day when we honor the special ladies in our lives.
A stroll down Main Street on a sunny afternoon had us stopping into shops owned by small business owners who are offering unique ideas for Sunday. Here’s a smattering of what we found.
Trendz A Boutique on Main Street owner Jerri Lorenson thinks like her customers, who, thanks to her keen sense of what women want, fall into a range of ages. The colorful dresses and tops she sells are one-of-a-kind and ageless — from the juicy orange airily knit sweater we fell in love with to a lovely faux jumper dress from artistic watercolor-like fabric.
Inexpensive gifts include the highly collectible gold and silver Bella Ryan Charm Bracelet, $14.99 each, must-have HypeWipes, which stick onto the back of your smart phone and expertly buff away fingerprints from the screen, $3.95.
Just back from the trade shows, Lorenson picked up some funky iPhone cases, charger plugs and cords ($39.95 to $49.95) decorated in sparkly leopard prints and purple with silver polka dots that she guarantees will be “the next big thing.”
And her jewelry: leather bracelets with strong magnet closures, Dee Mathura Design necklaces and earrings from semiprecious stones and Swarovski crystals ($140 to $250). Pick up a handmade Mother’s Day card and take advantage of free gift wrapping and your ready to thrill mom.
