Do you love that lady (or those ladies) so much you want to surprise her with another gift? Or you only need help finding a thoughtful present that doesn’t look like you rushed in a large outlet and had the sales lady pick it out for you. Either way, we’ve got your back!
A C’s Bed & Bath
Anne Cleary of A C’s Bed & Bath said, “We have lotions and bath washes that are around $30 or below.” The Milk line of bathing products is available at her store on the Square between Off-Square Books and Hinton & Hinton. The Milk lotion retails at $25, its lip balm at $6, its body wash at $25, its bubble bath at $24. There is also another popular beauty care line available: Lollia with its hand creams at $25, its bubble bath at $36 and there are even candles at $36 for those who love the Lollia’s scents.
The Milk brand of bathing products are luxurious and affordable.
Lollia products can be found to the immediate left upon entering the store.
Amelia’s Gifts
Amelia’s Gifts is an unique store that showcases local artists. It also has a line of bathing beauty products to pamper your lady with. The Herbivore facial oil retails at $28, its masks at $34, its toner at $24, its soak at $32, its bath salts at $13 and finally its soap at $11. These products’ sizes will make them ideal stocking stuffers.
The Herbivore line is found right next to the checking counter.

Choose a lip color (or have her pick it out for those who want to avoid possible letdowns) for $22.
Caramel Factory
A can of caramel frosting costs $8.50 but yields 16 servings for your loved one with a mean sweet tooth streak.
Kaleidoscope
The store offers a counter full of jewelry but these necklaces stand out. They’re under $40 but their value is high – these necklaces are made by Half United, a jewelry company who donates half of the profits from sales directly to fighting global starvation.
Half United gold necklaces $38
