You've seen the headlines and probably heard the news on television: "Big box" is out, "local" is in. Now take note that Missouri Mercantile is a great place to get hip to the trend. Located in the St. Louis Mills mall, Missouri Mercantile has something for every type of friend, from the foodie to the goofy. Recent crowd-pleasers include a 2007 Seyval Blanc from Augusta Winery; spicy gourmet pickles from Ozark Pickle Pantry; smoothing soaps from Nuwati Herbals; and a felt-bottomed set of washers from any number of local washers-game craftsmen. N.B.: big gift assortments available, too.
