They have an awesome program where you can earn a "gem" for donating to the shop. This gem can be traded for an item from the shop marked with a label indicating that it’s part of the program.

You can find vintage toys, gorgeous gemstone jewelry, or retro sporting goods here. Shoppers looking for something quirky won’t want to miss unique items like suits of armor, old-fashioned trucks, or local art.
