Thank you so much for the gift certificate to THE BEST unique store ever, “The Little Traveler.”  I so enjoy not only bringing guests there, but also enjoy coming by myself.

I recently lost my husband to a long battle of cancer.  While waiting for his prescriptions, I would stop by to help take my mind off of things. He always knew that The Little Traveler was a favorite of mine, often giving me gift certificates or would come shopping with me, so I could give him some ideas. Now, it comforts me to shop at The Little Traveler, feeling that a part of my husband is with me, overseeing what I am about to purchase.

One of my most cherished gifts that my husband purchased for me was the Swarovski Red Dress for Women Charm.  My mother passed from heart disease and since my husband purchased it for me, it has a very special place in my heart.

Knowing how much I enjoy shopping at The Little Traveler, my son has carried on the tradition.  Also, gift certificates can be ordered from people who reside in other states for us, who are lucky enough to live close enough to Geneva.  My sister, who lives in Texas, has ordered gift certificates for me, knowing that is the best gift that she could give.

Sincerely,

Kathie Osborn
