The best local shops in Quad Cities

For a birthday, a thank-you, or a “a text won’t cut it” moment, LilyPads Floral Boutique creates handcrafted arrangements with premium flowers and seasonal blooms, then hand-delivers them. It’s a real Port Byron florist, so your bouquet comes from local floral artists, not a mystery box of stems.

Brick and Motor Boutique brings together clothing, jewelry, accessories, gifts, and a kiddo collection, with a mobile shop that travels across the Midwest and a storefront in Rock Island. It’s a handy local tip when your closet needs a little refresh, or a gift needs to be more interesting than another candle.
