Indiana Stores and Shopping

Clear Choice Indiana is a family owned and operated business. Base out of Indianapolis, In. My family has been in the window fashion business for more than 30 years. We have always maintained a great reputation for quality work and products.

Schmitt Photo produces heirloom-caliber pictures in an array of shapes and sizes. The lab processes analog and digital shots ($5–$8 plus $0.30 per print) in addition to scanning and printing precious documents ($1–$25 based on size). Haul in an epoch's worth of negatives to reprint for fresh photo albums ($0.30 per 3"x5", 4"x5", or 4"x6") or stairwell garnishing ($8 per 11"x14"). Alter facsimile photos with professional color correction, shining up shoddy shots and ensuring that all red eyes are vacated from best friends, second cousins, and non-albino pet rats. Artsy shutterbugs can have masterful examples of lensmanship mounted on 20"x24" art paper ($43) or an 11"x14" canvas ($48).

Berny Martin designed and sewed his first original piece, a pair of jeans, when he was 8 years old. So when he finally achieved his dream of starting his own clothing line, he named it after his grandmother, the woman who had cared for him and nurtured his creativity during childhood. And while Martin had a talent for fashion since a young age, he honed his technical skills at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Now under his own label, Catou, Martin creates designs that are "edgy and elegant, flirty and sophisticated," filling clients' closets with timeless custom apparel.

Teeki Hut implants a bevy of bright images and custom designs on wearable and washable T-shirts. Couture seekers can stop by the surf-themed shop to peruse a selection of pre-designed images and rows of tees in toddler, juniors, and unisex sizes, searching for the perfect combination to suit their personality or penchant for going pants-less. Paste an image of KISS on a colorful short sleeve, or fuse a favorite Sesame Street character onto an American Apparel 100% organic cotton tee sprinkled with gold glitter ink and aqua rhinestones ($5 additional fee).

With Mixbook's photo-book services, you can instantly upload your treasured pictures and customize each with the easy-to-use Mixbook editor. Use the editor to crop photos, add text, and rotate any pictures, allowing you to convince friends you met Adam West while hanging upside-down in his master bedroom. Clients can then choose from several different types of printed books, such as the 8"x6" softcover pocket landscape ($11.99 for 20 pages) or the 14"x11" hardcover coffee-table book ($49.99 for 20 pages), ideal for stirring up jealousy in bookless coffee tables. Mixbook uses archival-quality silk paper to ensure that sentimental snapshots have a glossy look and feel. Capture the moment the bride said "I do" with a professional-quality wedding picture book, or encapsulate baby's first word—"mitochondria"—with a baby memory book.

Inaugurated in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1980, HobbyTown USA now feeds the habits of hobbyists in 43 states, immersing shoppers in a model-toy store and art-supply shop with a science-fair vibe. Crafty options abound for many ages and interests and range from 1/25 scale 1969 Camaro model kits ($19.95) to easy-to-care-for ant farms ($15.49). Guests can spicy up routine barbecues with outdoor activities such as flying Turbo Jet 2000 gliders ($4.99) or kites shaped like 3-D space shuttles, which, unlike real space shuttles, serve decent in-flight meals ($19.99). For rainy days, pick up a 10-piece carving-knife set ($4.95) and an eight-color all-purpose paint set ($12.15) to repurpose any banister as a totem pole of achievement.
