I?m driving home from work and suddenly it hits me like a lightening bold. My Anniversary! Today! Oh man am I in trouble. I?m already in my neighborhood, Wedgwood and the last thing I want to do is to head to U Village and fight for a parking space there. And then I remember, there?s a new shop in the neighborhood. \r
\r
Finding Fresh was simple?it?s right next door to the Starbucks on 35th and there?s plenty of parking, including a lot behind the store. \r
\r
When I walked in, I think the owners could tell there was something wrong. Was it the beads of sweat on my forehead? I briefly explained my predicament and after a knowing chuckle, they told me to take a deep breath. ?Everything?s going to be OK?, I was assured. They asked me a few questions. What size did my wife wear? What colors does she like? What?s her birthstone? \r
\r
They showed me some apparel and some accessories for the house, but we ultimately ended up looking at their jewelry. (You can?t go wrong buying jewelry, right?) There selection was fantastic, and the prices reasonable. They helped me pick out a beautiful hand made necklace and earrings and boxed them with a beautiful ribbon. There?s a great card selection too, some of which are very funny. I picked out a card, paid and was done all in less than 20 minutes. \r

My wife LOVED my gift and I was off the hook. Well, at least until Christmas?
Pros: Great service and selection. Easy location.
