I LOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEE Frances!!! There is no better place to find unique gifts for others or for that most special person, yourself. They have such a wide range of beautiful things here (some of my favs include: Kamibashi stationary and stickers (oh so many cool stickers!), jewelery by local artists, unique baby and kid stuff, yummy smelling lotions, Anthropologie-esque dresses)... and hello, vintage clothes??! yay!! How cool is that? Having 2 kids it is nearly impossible for me to really shop in here for very long, I am considering hiring a babysitter just to go in here for 2 hours and pour over everything. I heart Frances forever and always, PLEASE shop here and support a wonderful local business!!!! I can't wait for that light rail to be up so I can ride it to Frances!
Edit: I forgot to say that Frances is also a great place to go for a gift for the man in your life (well, maybe not if the man in your life is your dad) but for virtually any other man in your life... go to Frances, they have great guy clothes and manly toiletries.
