Have you ever had trouble finding the “perfect “ gift for someone?

Or maybe you can’t wait to find that perfect new décor item for your home.

The average adult must shop for gifts for friends or family members several times over the course of a typical year. Birthdays, holidays and anniversaries are often the driving force behind such excursions, but sometimes you’ll buy a gift for a loved one or friend even if there is no special occasion attached — ‘just because you found something you knew they would love’

Striking Tela is that kind of wonderful little gift shop where you can find all kinds of decor for your home, gifts for yourself and everyone you know.

When buying gifts for those we love, many folks hope to find something unique. But unique items can be hard to find at the shopping mall, where national chain stores tend to dominate. This little boutique offers an array of handmade and commercial products. Each is chosen with creative thought and is affordable. It has a wonderful eclectic charm and appeal.

Betty Davis is the owner of this fantastic little shop and “something for everyone” seems to be the theme: there are wonderful-smelling shower gels, lotions, shampoo and conditioners, body mists (including a line for sensitive skin), clothing, mugs, photos and frames, handmade cards, pictures, hats, handmade dresses for little girls, as well as purses for women that are commercial and handmade. “The handmade purses are unique and women just fell in love with them,” she said.

Her silk-floral arrangements are stunning as well and often attract comments from the folks who stop in. Her selection and colors are sure to compliment any home décor and make the perfect centerpieces for the holidays.

Davis also creates “Sweet Heats” which are a best seller. She wants those suffering from hair loss, or those who just want to change their hairstyle to feel comfortable and secure. Colored hair pieces are what’s trending among the younger generation and are very popular. Davis has expertise in this area and her attention to detail is proving popular with a wide range of ages.

Striking Tela is truly a one-of-a-kind place. If you need ideas for an original gift or piece of art for your home, just ask! Striking Tela’s clients are people who value orginality and creativity. All of the products are unique.

“I seek out quality and affordable products and I create quality and affordable products. This is key in being eclectic,” Davis added.

She can even take requests for small customized items, like mugs and teas, clothing, big and small jewelry, books, wigs, meditation items and gifts in a small quantity.

Creating personalized T-Shirts and Coffee Mugs are a few of her specialties.

“I taught myself how to create these items because they are a high commodity and folks love them,” she explained.

With many different holidays soon approaching, Striking Tela is a the perfect place to get a head start on finding that perfect gift.
