This is not a paid advertisement, I just consider it my Blogwoman Duty to tell you. I always say it's the best-kept secret in town, so now I'm letting all you blog readers in on it: the Gift Shop at Memorial. So much more than a hospital gift shop!Rather than the traditional Get Well Cards and useless porcelain angels and other corny knick-knacks & bric-a-brac, the Gift Shop carries a fun, far-reaching array of acessories, baby clothes, gourmet food items, and gifts for the home that can't be found anywhere else in NQPS.
Marci Cates Wright scours the gift market a couple times a year and comes back with unique, fabulous, well-priced items for her customers. Right now the shop is stocked with fabulous rain boots in hot colors and prints, warm fuzzy scarves for winter, some amazing jewelry, gloves and tons of other fashion-forward accessories. Ladies--this is the best place in town to find cool handbags! They're always unique, look so designer-like, and most are under $100. Truth. I'm carrying one right now.
If you're visiting a new mom in the hospital, go to the gift shop first. The baby clothes you'll find there are so precious & sweet you'll want to buy the teeny fashionista an entire wardrobe.
If you're decorating your home for Halloween/autumn/Thanksgiving you'll find some clever and different items for the kitchen, for the dining table, for anywhere in the house. Nothin wrong with buying a gift for yourself, I always tell myself.
Most people don't realize that the Gift Shop has a Pantry section that features gourmet treats: soup. nuts. chips. cookbooks. chocolate. Nomnom.
Gasperetti's beautiful fresh floral arrangements are delivered daily, kept cool and ready to go.
And I didn't know this til I went to the website: http://www.yakimamemorial.org/patients_gift_shops.html , but you can even order a gift on line and have it delivered to a patient that day!
My advice is: don't wait for someone to get sick, go there now. Or anytime you need a fun, different gift for an exchange or a hostess gift or a birthday present, check it out.
Also if you're on Facebook, you can become a fan of the shop by going to The Gift Shop at Memorial. Then you can be updated all the time on new merchandise arrivals, events, and whatever's going on at the shop.
Marci--I gotta tell you--great job, girl!

Thank god i will never have to go thru formal dress shopping again , our experience started when my daughter and i went to sassy boutique to buy a sherri hill dress , we tried it on in a larger size but they had told me sherri hill date to receive it will be later then her formal , so we thought we would try a place called dollhouse in top Ryde , they seemed pleasant she tried on the dress it was way to big for her but they said they can order the size for her by the formal , so we went ahead and placed a deposit mind you they were much cheaper then other places we had went to , anyway we were told the dress will take 3 weeks i went back after a week and asked how is the dress coming along , another girl had served us and told me the dress has finished , finished or arrived!!! so i was surprised anyway payed the balance and went home my daughter was so excited she tried it on and it closed but the bust area was so big so i went to the alteration place also in top Ryde and when i went there it was like he knew us , the guy told me " what’s wrong with it i just fixed it yesterday" , i said what!!! this is a new dress i just bought he hesitated and then quoted me a ridiculous price to fix it , so i went to another alteration place in Parramatter where she had told me this dress had already been altered and the bust area it is hard to fix , she fixed it as much as she can , but the bad thing about all this is i could not take dollhouse to consumer affairs because for me to get my discount , i accepted to buy it with no receipt and payed cash. So what we were told she altered the dress we had tried in the store and just made it smaller from the back zipper because the bust was fully beaded. I hope no one goes thru this i really urge you don't buy from there Doll house are cheaters
