Best BaBy Goods
Your baby probably won’t know
what to say when you come home
with a fresh new crib and a Dolce
and Gabbana diaper bag from Baby Bloomers. Or
how about surprising your infant with an alpaca
car seat? Baby Bloomers recognizes that babies are
acutely aware of life’s finer things.
Best Children’s ClothinG
Have your book club meetings
turned into weekly discussions
about TLC’s hit TV show “Tod-
dlers & Tiaras”? Does your toddler need a wardrobe
revamping? Well, Southern Belles has been styling
Mount Pleasant toddlers for over 25 years.
Best Menswear
Fashion magazines everywhere are
saying that it is the year to look good.
“Out with the hip t-shirts of 2012, and
in with the sports coats and dress shirts,” read the
covers. Jos. A. Bank not only has all the menswear to
tackle 2013 but also will provide peace of mind for
your bank account in today’s uncertain economy.
Best shoes
Flat out, The Shoe Fairy has the classi-
est kicks around. Whether you were
born into Southern aristocracy or fit
the magic shoe like Cinderella, The Shoe Fairy has
the footwear for your next formal function.
Best hardware store
Tired of walking into a big-box hard-
ware store and being harassed by
employees asking you what “project”
you’re working on this weekend? At Royall Ace Hard-
ware, you can find whatever it is you need for that
new man cave you’re building, as well as a friendly
face guaranteed to steer you in the right direction.
Best CustoMer serviCe
Don’t be surprised if you leave Roy-
all Ace Hardware feeling like the en-
tire world is working for you. Many
customers contract the feeling-like-
the-president syndrome and are stunned when
nobody opens their car door and unravels a red
carpet leading into their house. If that would make
your experience better, Ace Hardware does keep a
few bundles of red carpet in storage.
Best insuranCe CoMPany
Don’t worry if you make
a bad decision behind the
wheel or if Mother Nature
deals you a bad hand. That’s
what insurance is all about. Many Mount Pleasant
Magazine readers depend on State Farm to bail
them out.
Best PlaCe to watCh sPorts on tv
My heaven looks something like this:
A tall glass of Budweiser, a heap of
hot wings smothered in an assort-
ment of sauces and me and the guys shouting at the
top of our lungs at a 100-inch television screen that
pictures grown men running over each other while
chasing down an oval-shaped piece of leather. If this
is your fantasy, too, I’ll see you down at Wild Wing
Cafe in Mount Pleasant.
Best PlayGround
Are the kids yearning for fresh air in a
way that makes you want to pull your
hair out, one strand at a time? Head
to Palmetto Islands County Park, which won for hav-
ing the best playground, and let the little tykes walk
– or slide – it out.
Best way to sPend a rainy afternoon
On the rare day when Mount Pleasant
isn’t pleasant, our readers love to recline
in a comfortable chair, look up at a big
screen and watch their favorite flicks with a snack and
a drink while the sky cries outside.
