Find local flair and a signature piece of furniture

By KORI SCIANDRA
KSciandra@batavianews.com
Family Furniture, the
three-story furniture store
on Main Street in the village
of Perry, is a generational-
ly owned retail store that
has been open since 1946
when Frank and Jane Gullo
launched the business.
Family Furniture, which
is now owned by business
partners Sam Gullo, Adam
Gullo and Nichole Brant,
specializes in the sale of
a range of furniture and
modern household items.
The store sells furnishings
that are made in the United
States and custom pieces
that are made locally in the
GLOW region.
“In addition to furniture,
we offer design services.
We try to be a little differ-
ent with our business mot-
to, and we truly view our
customers as friends and
family,” said Brant, who in
the past has even visited a
customer’s home to help
with input on interior de-
sign. “We do a lot of stuff

 Gift Guide November 22, 2023 T7

Think outside the gift box when

shopping for those who have it all
METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION
Made-for-T V movies
often depict holiday shop-
ping in the best possible
light. The story’s protago-
nist wanders into the town
center and easily finds ev-
erything on his or her list at
a series of perfectly decorat-
ed local boutiques that have
nary a shopper in sight. Hot
chocolate or mulled cider
and repartee also tends to
be par for the television
movie course.
People in the real world
understand that holiday
shopping doesn’t always
work so smoothly.
Certainly, shopping lo-
cal is a great way to avoid
the crowds and introduce
shoppers to more unique
gift options, but it’s im-
possible to remove every
obstacle in holiday shop-
ping – particularly getting
stumped over shopping for
that particularly difficult
person on your list.
The holly jolly nature of
the season can be eclipsed
when a person doesn’t
know where to begin when
shopping for those people
who seem to have it all.
The following ideas can
help shoppers who are
stuck on what to buy for that
loved one who already has
it all.
■ Consider experienc-
Holiday shoppers can often get stuck on what to buy
for that loved one who already has it all. Thinking out-
side the gift box can help generate ideas.
es. A recent Harris Group
study found 72 percent of
millennials prefer to spend
money on experiences rath-
er than things. If the person
on your shopping list has
just about every material
possession one can imag-
ine, giving unique experi-
ences might be the way to
go. The National Retail Fed-
eration confirms the shift in
attitude, noting consumers
across all age groups now
spend more on experiences
than they did in years past.
■ Consolidate memo-
ries. Technology continues
to evolve, which means that
the way music, videos and
photos are captured and
stored is always changing.
Unless a person has older
gear, it’s no longer possible
METRO CREATIVE CONNECTIONS
to watch a VHS tape fea-
turing a family member’s
graduation ceremony or re-
print photographs that are
on film negatives. However,
shoppers can work with a
company that will transfer
media onto a new format,
such as a thumb drive or
in a cloud-based account.
This can be a heartfelt gift
for someone who wants to
reminisce.
■ Food or beverage sub-
scription. Everyone needs
to eat (and drink), so there
is always a need for tasty
offerings. Introduce loved
ones to new foods with var-
ious subscriptions. If a per-
son is missing flavors from a
home country, have delica-
cies shipped so the recipi-
ent can enjoy a taste of their
childhood.
■ Make a family cook-
book. Enlist the help of
other family members and
compile beloved family
recipes. Utilize a cookbook
publishing service to com-
pile all of these recipes to-
gether. Then gift recipients
can revisit their favorites
time and again.
■ Trace family lineage.
If the gift recipient is a his-
tory buff or is interested in
his or her family tree, then
membership to an ancestry
service could be an ideal
gift. Individuals can spend
hours uncovering distant
relations and studying their
family history in the pro-
cess.
Holiday shopping can
be challenging when look-
ing for gifts for people who
seemingly have it all. A few
outside-the-box ideas can
make it easier to overcome
that challenge.
Shop Wyoming & Win returns
By MATT SURTEL
msurtel@batavianews.com
WARSAW — The annual
Shop Wyoming and Win pro-
motion will commence on
Black Friday, Nov 24.
People who shop in Wyo-
ming County during the holi-
day season have a chance to
win a series of prizes.
If the 2023 AFC Cham-
pion achieves five or more
takeaways from the 2023
NFC Champion during Super
Bowl LVIII, one person will be
drawn to win a cash prize of
$25,000, which is sponsored
by Old Souls Catering in Perry.
Even if that doesn’t hap-
pen, there is still an opportu-
nity to win one of several guar-
anteed prizes.
They include:
■ A gas grill donated by
Ace Hardware of Attica & War-
saw.
■ A rocker recliner donated
by Harding’s Furniture, Floor-
ing and Mattress of Attica/Mt.
Morris.
■ A $500 gift certificate
from Paws Perrydise in Perry.
■ A winter fun beverage
basket.
Participating in Shop Wyo-
ming and Win is easy.
Shoppers can save their re-
ceipts from purchases made
Nov. 24 to Dec. 24 anywhere
in Wyoming County. For every
$50 worth of purchases, they
get one entry in the condition-
al $25,000 drawing and the
drawings for the guaranteed
prizes.
Receipts can be submitted
to the Wyoming County Cham-
ber of Commerce or at drop
boxes located at Chamber
member businesses county-
wide. All receipts must be re-
ceived by 5 p.m. Jan. 25.
All receipts must be origi-
nals and have the shopper’s
full name, phone number, ad-
dress, and email written or
stamped on the receipt.
The drawing will be Feb. 13
at the Wyoming County Gov-
ernment Center. Receipts can
be mailed to the Chamber of-
fice at 36 Center Street, Suite
A, Warsaw, NY 14569.
Shop Wyoming & Win is
in its 13th year. It seeks to
encourage shoppers to buy
products locally, along with
discovering the products and
services offered within the
county.
Contact the Chamber at
(585) 786-0307 or visit www.
wycochamber.org for more
information or drop box loca-
tions.
