Luxe Boutique

 
Susan knows size matters when you are shopping for that next staple in your wardrobe, and this store caters to both big and small bodies. Who knew she would fall in love with ALL OF THE JEANS at Luxe! (Erin has picked out jeans that work for almost everybody type, they are miraculous) Affordable and portable, as you can have a shopping party in your driveway if you just ask.

Uptown Gifts in Uptown Normal

Gift shops are not all the same, and Susan will tell you that this store is a trendsetter in Blono. Always something unexpected you didn’t know you needed until you found it at Uptown Gifts and suddenly you can’t live with out it. Gift wrapping for free year round, and always a new clothing item (LIKE OMG JEANS) that you now have to gift yourself with. Never the same store twice, with the best customer service around!

Moe’s Southwest Grill

When it comes to fast casual food, Susan always grabs for Moe’s. So fresh and so great for last minute catering for two or two hundred. Susan claims they have the only guacamole that can beat her secret home made recipe, and the Moe’s queso and chips are second to none. She likes to eat low carb, and this is her favorite “easy Keto” place to eat. Try the Buffalo chicken salad!

Engraved Gifts

  
This is a store that will make your brain explode with ideas. Nobody has ever offered more customization gifts in Blono, and never at such affordable prices. The engraving is free with purchase, and you get your gifts BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE. Susan couldn’t find any single item over $50, and her favorite gifts were all under $20. Add your name, your company name, a photo, a recipe, all laser engraved right before your eyes. Once you stop in, you will go back at least two more times that same month for more because it was so much fun.
