Max9 Why that?
We used to have a very nice small silver shop about four miles from my parents' home in a rural area. Nice stuff, never crowded and the lady always appreciated the business (after all, four females in one house). Regrettably the shop did not survive the covid closures. I would have gone there had she survived but most of the retailers are now chain shops in the malls and I would not go to a mall twixt now and Christmas just because of the crowds.
