...from any Worcester based business which would it be? I am not talking about restaurants either. Stores and shops. What do you have?

I am pulling a blank here...most of my worcester jaunts are based on food, beer, or music...or some combo thereof.

Drawing a blank too... Other than chains like Home Depot and Best Buy... the only local stores I frequent would be, and this is the entire list, Kurlan Music, Union Music and Stark Electronics.

If I had more expendable income, I'd include Jelly's.

For the record, I think gift certificates are often for food for the sake of easy gifting. And since you said restaurant and not food I get to put my favorite markets on there. Here are places I'd be happy to spend a gift certificate.

Post Salon and Spa (Sorry Linnea Jeffrey Roberts chased out my 2 favorite people so I've left to follow the ladies)
Face Makers
Wholly Cannoli (fuckin' dynamite sticks man!)
Ace Hardware
A2Z Modern Furniture
The Futon Company
A&P Fish
Fingers and Toes
Living Earth
HBML you could get a $5 gift cert there and walk out with so much shit
That's Entertainment
CC Lowell
Helen's Bakery (sweet rye...mmm...)

and also, I second Duncan's, especially the Worcester Craft Center


All done with nice.

Re: If you could have a gift certificate...

uh, i just tried to post this and something weird happened, so forgive me if this goes up twice, but HBML now has gift certificates in the following denominations: $5, $10, $20, and $23. you can even mailorder them. see:

http://hbml.org/fresh/2007/11/29/grift-certificates/

also the new goal is "prices on everything".

I just read that an estimated $8 billion in gift cards go unclaimed each year.

I'm seconding 126 Post Salon and Spa. Also, The Perfect Package and The Bean Counter.

A non-Worcester-but-close-enough-because-I-don't-think-we-have-a yarn-shop-choice is The Sheep Shack in Holden.
