After having a soft opening the second week of October, the Melt a Heart gift shop just off Gilbert at 407 Ann Street has cut the ribbon for its official welcome. Prior to Wednesday’s (Nov 1st) ceremony, owner Teri Marner said that it all began with her putting together some gift baskets at her Champaign home. And then, she saw a chance to open a special store in Danville; with gift ideas for both individuals and businesses.

Audio PlayerAUDIO: I’ve got candles, I’ve got body care, I’ve got home decor; but I also actually make custom gift baskets and deliver them. Also, I have baked goods that come from the Homestead Bakery in Arthur, the pumpkin patch. And I actually deliver a lot of those goods to AIRBNBs.
Just turn west on to Ann Street coming off North Gilbert, and Melt a Heart is immediately on your right.
