2 Great Cities, 1 Great University, Be a Tourist in Your Own Backyard! There are so many fun specialty shops right here in Lafayette-West Lafayette and this holiday season we recommend heading downtown for a day of shopping to purchase one of a kind, unique items for your loved ones.
Shop Small Saturday - did you get out and shop during this special event last month? I did and I had a blast going door to door searching and finding the perfect holiday gifts. I headed downtown and spent the day shopping with my 16 month old daughter (who loved to run everywhere and touch and see everything..she kept me on my toes!) and my sister, Jen. At every location, I took photos of holiday decor, original pieces of art, lovely, handmade jewelry and more. I am sending my husband a photo every day with a little hint (ha!) of my holiday shopping wish list! I want to share with you a few items that are wonderful holiday gift ideas.
Two Tulips- specializes in wedding invitations, wedding shower invitations, baby announcements, shower invitations, personalized baby gifts, baptism gifts and piggy banks too!
