Another place that’s filled to the rafters with gift items is RC Gifts (Aptly named and formerly known as Red Cross Gifts – an offshoot of the Red Cross Pharmacy.)

There are many things that beg to be touched by little, curious hands that would certainly perish!

The Spooner Bake Shoppe has been making delicious goodies from scratch since they opened in 1952. They have breads, cookies, cakes, muffins and candies. Why not take the help when you can find it and let someone else bake a few things? Score!
