Stores in this year's Gifts and Decorative Accessories 25 Gifted Retailers cover a range of stores, regions and income level. Our Gifted Retailers are not based on how much they make or how many stores they have.

It's based on what they bring to their customers, whether through product mix, community-based events or customer service that just can’t be beat. 

This list is by no means comprehensive, nor is it a ranking. Many more than the 25 retailers listed here are strong retailers within their communities.
