 Amy Craft Ahrens is not new to the Bowling Green area. She grew up working at Ben Franklin, her family's business. After many years of experience in Chicago Amy decided to come back to Bowling Green and open up her own shop in 1997 called For Keeps.

For Keeps is a three level shop that specializes in home decorations, personal gifts, accessories and much more.  Some aspects you will find that are intriguing about For Keeps is that they will be happy to wrap the gift you buy. Thus, saving you time and ensuring that your gift is presented beautifully. Another aspect is that Amy puts pride in finding new and unique items to have in her store. For Keeps will even special order items for you if you can not find that special gift. In addition to the great customer service For Keeps always has an offer you can not refuse.

If you are to busy to stop by For Keeps has a website you can visit at any time (www.forkeepsgifts.com).  You can tour the brands they have and view the different categories of gifts they carry. They have everything from Alex and Ani, Vera Bradley to Yankee Candle.

On the site they also have a special contact us feature where you can ask questions or get advice on what to get someone as a gift.

Many members of the community agree that For Keeps is a fantastic local business. Bowling Green is happy to be the home of such an amazing store.
