Best Place to Get Wedding Gifts

For the second year in a row, The Local Store (205 N. Dewey St., Eau Claire) was voted the home of the Valley’s favorite wedding gifts. From locally-crafted pottery and prints to Midwest-evoking memorabilia, to Wisconsin cheese and presents for your pets, the shop has a little something for everyone. River Prairie’s Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Café (1444 Front Porch Pl., Altoona) celebrates its second year at the No. 2 spot, offering an in-store, curated range of fine wine and spirits, sure to please anyone’s tastebuds. Rounding out the top three, Restored Co. (102 W. Lincoln Ave. Suite B, Fall Creek) is the area’s gem for beautiful restored furniture, thoughtfully chosen home decor and hand-selected gifts.
