"Wait, you bought me a present? Why would you do such a thing? I know you think you're being generous, 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 read more

See all

Just returned some gifts - promptly - with gift receipt. Clerk kept saying she didn't know how to help me, muttering to herself, skittishly jumping around searching for someone to help her - second clerk arrives, first clerk scurries away, second clerk also couldn't figure out how to do return. Says "Goldarnit" when computer doesn't respond as she wishes. Rude, impolite, endless time wasted waiting for unhelpful nasty clerks. Not a thank you, hope you find something else you like or even a smile. Gees, train your people or at least have someone on who is courteous and trained. Or how about nice, can we start there? read more
