Did you know that (according to the  Andersonville Study of Retail Economics)  buying local generates 70% more local economic activity per square foot as opposed to big box chain stores? So when you are shopping for the perfect gift for mom this year, we hope you’ll consider keeping those dollars here in the Rolla/St. James/ St. Robert areas. Below are Little Mother Photography's 10 favorite places to shop. The list is in no particular order.
Did we miss your favorite? Please comment on our blog below!

Public House

Consider taking mom out for a nice pint or meal. The Rolla Brewpub has amazing sandwiches and other light eats, but if you’re looking for a more substantial dinner, the St. James Taproom is amazing. Public House prides itself in using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. If the weather is agreeable you can relax in the beautiful Gardens which connect St. James Winery and Public House. The gardens’ outdoor wood-fired pizza kitchen is a must try!
You can check out the St. James Taproom hours, and download a menu here.

Red Door Gifts

Located in the heart of downtown Rolla, Red Door Gifts is more than your typical gift shop. Featuring beautiful jewelry, purses, as well as kitchen and home accessories; you’re sure to find something to fit your mom’s style and your budget. They were recently voted the #1 Gift Shop and #1 Boutique by the Rolla Daily News. Not sure exactly what mom wants this year? A Red Door gift card is always a safe bet!

For the most beautiful clothing, and accessories for mom or her home, check out the Front Porch Boutique. Their shop at 1901 Bishop Avenue is simply adorable, and definitely worth a stop. You can also preview a lot of their beautiful goods on their website. (They also offer gift cards!)

Huffman's Flowers of the Field

Sybill's of St. James

Open for over 10 years now, Sybill’s is amazing. Located in St. James, the restaurant and gift shop inhabit a 100 year old farm house. In addition to a full (and delicious) food menu, they also serve local craft beer, wine, and artisanal cocktails. Be sure to leave room for dessert, the selection changes regularly, but never disappoints! Reservations are recommended, but not required.
Before or after your meal the gift shop is a great stop. There they sell one-of-a-kind antiques, gifts, home accessories, jewelry, and more.
