 As we have done in the past LDN has gone around
the county taking some pictures to give you some great ideas for
that perfect gift for your loved ones and for your own holiday
decorating, and maybe a thing or two for your own self-treat.
Though we are still in the midst of controlling the spread of a
contagious disease, store owners and managers have shared how you
can safely reach them with your Christmas list requests.
There is a new little antique and collectable shop at 1211 Fifth
Street called Route 66 Corner Garage. If you have been down Fifth
Street you have probably noticed a manikin waving at you. The day we
went he was sporting a short sleeve shirt, shorts and wearing a
mask.
The shop features old signs, toys, gas and oil cans, coins and much
more. And here’s something, unique-license plates made in 1946, 1947
and 1948 from soybeans. Plus, they will have furniture in the near
future.
Pictured is worker Kevin Ritchhart, who said that Bill Haak is the
owner/manager. The store hours are Wednesday thru Sunday 11 a.m. - 4
p.m. There is a sign on the front door with additional contact
information. Be sure to check them out.
Cindy’s Cottage is owned by Cindy Peterman and is
located at 533 Woodlawn Road. Her store features Christmas and Home
décor, jewelry and clothing, as well as gifts, furniture - Farmhouse
and Vintage. She can also be reached thru Facebook and Instagram at
Cindy’s Cottage.
Hot Frog Designs is another small locally owned business that is
located just down the block from Cindy’s Cottage at 501 Woodlawn.
They specialize in personalized shirts, hats bags, decals, photo
gifts and awards.
They also have a new laser etching technique that works on most
wood, glass, plates and more. Sonja even said that can scan a
handwritten recipe from a loved one and etch it on a cutting board.
If you can dream it they can probably design it.
Stop in and let them create something special for Christmas.
Neal Tire, downtown Lincoln, is not only a great place for tires but
show them off “loud and proud” with super cool rims!!!
Let one of their friendly service advisors help you find the perfect
gift. And don’t forget they have batteries, wiper blades and you can
always get a gift certificate for service work, like brakes,
alignments, shocks and suspension systems.
Big R on Woodlawn Road, Lincoln’s west side has a whole host of
great ideas for farm, home and family! They even have great gifts
for your pets (including your outside birds)!

slippers for you. Stop in today.

with great shampoo and styling supplies by Olaplex and Hempz lotions
as well as hairsprays and nail polish.
And, if you can’t decide what to get, just get a gift certificate
and let your loved one pick their own.
Abe’s Carmelcorn Shoppe in downtown Lincoln is always a sweet and
fun place to shop. While their signature item is still popcorn (in
three flavors everyday) you will be amazed at all the home and
kitchen décor and accessories along with some of the most incredible
soups, sauces, jams, mixes and don’t forget they have everything
from jelly bellies to decadent chocolate!
And if you want to ship anything in the store to your loved ones,
just give them a call.
P&W Pools feature in-ground and above-ground pools and spas. Now
that is something to get excited about. Just close your eyes. Can’t
you picture yourself enjoying any one of those? Plus, they have all
the chemicals and accessories to go with them. Maybe this Christmas
you can get a gift certificate for someone who has a pool or spa or
has always dreamed of having one.

hardware and more.

Carrie Groves of McEntire’s Appliance is showing off one of her
newest refrigerators. This baby is huge and has four doors! The top
doors are your regular refrigerator and two below are your freezers.
What’s really cool about the two freezers is that they can be set at
different temperatures. So if you like your ice cream a little
softer then you can just reach in and get it and you don’t have
wait…because everyone knows when you want your ice cream you want it
NOW!
While you are there you can check out the rest of their appliances.
If you are not comfortable coming into the store just call or go
