I also really like how they have a wide variety of products as well, so it makes it fun going into the store and seeing all of the new things that they have. ” Another student said “I really like Poppy and Vine not only because it is a locally owned business, but because of the cool gifts they sell. I always try to support small businesses around Salina, and I would say that Poppy and Vine is probably one of my top places to go. When it comes to their products, I would say that one of my favorite things that they sell are their hats that have inappropriate and funny humor on them. They are super unique as you can’t really find this type of product anywhere else in Salina.”
