Discover Central Illinois: Giftshop spreading happiness in Shelbyville

SHELBYVILLE, Ill. (WAND) - ‘Simply Yours’ in downtown Shelbyville has branded itself as the city’s quirky little gift shop.

Inside the shop at 119 E Main Street, you can find unique toys, t-shirts, mugs, and snarky gifts.

Families can visit the Make-N-Take station and bring home their own art pieces.

Owner Schryll Bernson wants everyone who steps in the door to have some fun and leave a little bit happier.

For years, ‘Simply Yours’ was a clothing boutique. But the pandemic gave Bernson a new outlook on life and she wants to share it with others.

“After COVID, it made everybody stop. It made me stop. And I thought, ‘You know what? I need to be doing more. I need to be spreading joy and happiness.’ So, that’s when I flipped the script once again. This is the script I'm going to keep.”

‘Simply Yours’ is open 11 to 5 Monday through Friday and 10 to 4 on Saturday.
