However, I was recently in South Amboy for the Christmas holiday and had to make a stop at the bank. I decided to check out the local shops while downtown and came across New Life Books and Bibles. I'm so happy I stopped in to check this little gem. They have a beautiful selection of both religious and secular items. The shop is quite charming and the clerk was so sweet and friendly. I'm sorry I did not get her name but we had a lovely chat and her welcoming nature made my visit all that more special. I love to support local businesses at every chance I get, and I am so glad I stumbled into the shop. I already gave out some of my purchases as Christmas gifts so I did not get to take pictures of some of the beautiful items I got, but I shared what I have not gifted yet. Whether you are a practicing Christian, or you are just looking for a beautiful gift, you should check out New Life Bibles and books and support your local small town businesses.

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a…read moreconsumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. We wanted to get Diyas and dropped by this place as we had parked close by to go to a different restaurant. The place looked full of great collections and I pulled out my phone to click some pics for while my wife was busy looking out for the diyas. I was then intercepted by a guy in his 40's (probably the owner) who asked not to take pics in a stern voice and I politely responded that it was only for review purpose and stopped taking any more pics. But he was kind enough to direct us to the diyas that we came out to purchase and we were ready for checkout. Since the purchase amount was only $5 we were asked to pay cash as they don't take credit cards for lesser amounts. I'm not a cash person usually but luckily my wallet saved me from an embarrassment that day and I was able to pay and move out. It's totally fine for a store to have certain policies to protect their businesses but it's also important that they make it pronounced to their customers through notices or posters within the shop or the doorstep. PS- I'm not posting the few pictures that I had clicked, respecting the owner's ask.
