We are smack in the middle of a big gift-shopping season, between the end of the school year, graduations, and Father's Day. You may find it a little hard to find gifts that aren't just a little cliche — as Laura at The Olde Wicker Mill says, experienced teachers probably have all the "teacher" ornaments and mugs they need!

That's why, on this edition of "On the Road with Polly," I show you a million gifts these special people will truly appreciate and feel appreciated when they receive them, all at The Olde Wicker Mill in the New Hartford Shopping Center:

Here's just a taste of the fun gift ideas I saw:

  • New wine purses so you can enjoy a glass wherever you are. Mini fireplaces that can roast marshmallows and make smores — and fit in places that can't have a firepit.
  • Items for the fisherman, hunter, boater or just best dad for Father's Day.
  • Soft sleep/lounge pants with pockets and designs that will make him laugh
  • For grads, photo frames to remember that special day or special jewelry for seniors/women moving on in life
  • Speaking of jewelry, so many beautiful options for $30 or less.
  • For teachers, wine glasses with recipes on the bottom, jewelry, wind chimes, or something nice for the yard.
  • Vera Bradley loungewear featuring sunflowers sure to make anyone smile

As you saw on the video, they have so many options sure to make people smile or laugh, from bright sunflowers on Vera Bradley loungewear to the Master Crapsman "poopurie" designed to mask bathroom odors before they even happen.

And never forget: Sometimes the best gift is a gift card so they can pick out exactly what they want.

If you can't immediately find what you're looking for, though, don't hesitate to ask a sales associate for help. They have a very low return rate, because they are experts at helping customers find exactly what they want and need.

Stop by today and you'll see what I mean!
