I spotted Love From Minnesota as I was sitting at Caribou Coffee, which is steps away. After finishing my drink, I paid this store a visit. I like a store that also has Rochester items. I liked the tea towel that pinpointed where Rochester was. When you mention Rochester, most folks think of the city in New York. Nope, that Rochester doesn't have the Mayo Clinic like the one in Minnesota does. There were Christmas items on sale, from socks to ornaments. The pine cone hedge hogs with Santa hats were adorable! There were plenty of sweatshirts and apparel flaunting the state. I loved a geode in state form. It was cool. It also has general gift items, such as punny gnome socks. I spent quite a bit of time browsing everything. I may have to go back and get the cork coaster set that declares one's love for Minnesota. It seems fitting that I should have them. I had a good browsing experience. I'd come back again. (27)

The store is in the subway level and very close to the Mayo Methodist Hospital and I passed by it everyday. I had some time and needed a little "pick-me-up" and levity one afternoon. This store has some really amazing and fun items that put a smile on your face. You can find gifts for yourself, friends and family here and the ladies working here have some great gift ideas depending on what you need. The other great thing about this place is the happy vibe that the people who work here...the ladies are really sweet and caring, and are the epitome of Upper Midwestern hospitality. Thank you again ladies :D

Ten Thousand Swedes Ran Through the Weeds…read more.. ...chased by one Norwegian! Tourists visiting Minnesoodah can expect to encounter a large population of tall, blond, strange-speaking people of Norwegian ancestry. To attempt communication with these locals, a visit to the Uffda Shop in Red Wing for translation guides such as "How to Speak Minnesotan" and "The Best of Ole and Lena" is always a smart plan. With educational guides in hand, tourists can next get a taste for local cuisine by checking out the Scandinavian food section of the store (mostly sweets). If you are visiting over the Christmas season, you may be lucky enough to enjoy a free sample of a Scandinavian dessert recipes, made in-store, with a free recipe card to boot. Other gift items include Polar Mitts hats, mittens, and scarves, crystal and glass, Christmas collectibles, towels and linens, and dinnerware. If you are a local, you are likely headed to the store for Christmas items such as troll statues, woolen Dale of Norway sweaters, or high-quality, krumkake and Bethany Housewares lefse equipment. Both tourists and locals alike will enjoy learning interesting facts about store items and Scandinavian culture from the friendly and knowledgeable store associates. They are also always happy to gift-wrap your purchase in the Scandinavian wrapping paper of your choice! Be forewarned that you may find yourself using the word "uffda" when shopping here as prices can be a bit "spendy".

"Wait, you bought me a present? Why would you do such a thing? I know you think you're being…read moregenerous, but the foundation of gift-giving is reciprocity. You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an obligation." (Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory) We all know that feeling...the one where you wake up with palpitations, realizing you forgot to order a gift for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or other special occasion. But no need to make it an emergency...Heart's Desire to the rescue! Sales associates happily assist in finding something within one's budget that won't induce cardiac arrest, but that will hopefully make the recipient's heart grow fonder. From traditional gifts like candles, jewelry, inspirational box signs, and kitchen accessories; to boutique clothing and unique chips and dips for the party animal, this charming shop has Winona area residents covered to help win over that special friend...or get you out of the dog house. You know your heart is in the right place when you give the gift of... Fancy garden gloves! They'll make your bosom buddy bloom into a blossom buddy. #buffyandhildy Wubba Nub nookies for a lil' cub...when you want to give the gift of peace and quiet to new parents (or musical gifts if you delight in torturing them instead). Sarcastic sockwear! For those sassy soul mates who like to wear their hearts on their soles, instead of their sleeves. Souvenirs that scream Minnesota nice, but in a gentle, non-offensive whisper that won't draw too much attention. I think the only thing you can't buy in this gigantic store is the gift of gab. But even if you leave Heart's Desire empty-handed...you are sure to leave with a warm heart. Bonus: Save time and that extra stop for gift accoutrements by grabbing a greeting from the card aisle and asking an associate to gift wrap for you. Rating: BP 120/80

And for half a buck for the daily, it's a better bargain than many other local rags in the places I've been over the years.

As much as I like finding news online, there's something about print . . . . Sure, i can read the pb online, but there are days where the last thing I want to do is turn on the tv or stare at at a computer screen. That's when the hardcopy comes to the rescue. Did i mention the part about it being only half a buck? what a bargain for unwired insight into the community.
