Where to Shop for Mother's Day Gifts:
Sheldon’s Gallery and Frame Shop (20 W. Main St., Ephrata) An Ephrata institution, Sheldon’s offers an array of gift ideas to suit all tastes and budgets.
Parkhill Jewelry (5 W. Main St., Ephrata)
If Mom loves beautiful jewelry, you’ll want to pay the folks at Parkhill a visit!
Tip: Sheldon’s and Parkill are both conveniently located in downtown Ephrata, so you can park and walk to explore all the other shops in the downtown district, too.
Extra Olives Gift Shop (358 N. Reading Rd., Ephrata)
Extra Olives is relatively new to the Ephrata area, and it’s already become the talk of the town because of its unique selections.
Ten Thousand Villages (240 N. Reading Rd., Ephrata)
Shop for mom and feel good about where the money is going. Ten Thousand Villages offers fairly traded gift items capturing the cultures of artisans from the developing world.
Of course, I’ve given you just a few suggestions. There are many other fantastic gift destinations in Ephrata and beyond in Lancaster County. When you book your next getaway at the Historic Smithton Inn, I’ll tell you all about them!
