Holiday Shopping 2023: That Personal Touch
|
For this installment of our local holiday shopping series, we visited Lynn van der Els, owner of That Personal Touch on Main Street. Here’s a transcript of our conversation.

New Canaanite: Please give us some background on That Personal Touch and tell us what you offer here. Lynn van der Els: My mom and I started the business 40 years ago, we just celebrated our 40th anniversary on November 4th. She passed away 11 years later, and then I met my husband Mitch, and he came into the business with me, and he became the engraver. I used to be the engraver, and my mom would do all the book work, so we reversed roles.
