about us

It is our very great pleasure to welcome you to one of the most unique shopping experiences in southern Illinois. We are here to fill the needs and expectations of our customers. In May of 2007, after 35 years in business, we changed our name from the Gift Shoppe at Byrd-Watson, doubled our size, and created a full website. Although our name is different, our most important goal of happy customers is still our main focus.

We call ourselves a tabletop and kitchen shop because we handle such wonderful lines as Kitchen Aid, Cuisinart, Lenox, Denby, LeCreuset , Villeroy and Boch,and many many others. We, also, sell Little Me baby clothing in our baby department.

All of this and much, much, more tucked inside our 6,000 square foot shop at 104 South 9th Street in Mount Vernon, Illinois. We look forward to seeing you soon and making your day a really special one.
