Alexis Burnett has been a part of Audrain County her entire life. She was born and raised in Mexico. She graduated from Mexico High School, she worked cleaning houses in the community and she donates to local charities.
Two years ago Burnett opened The Gift Bar in downtown Mexico. The shop sells gift items – as you might expect – but its not the usual gift store. Inside you can find clothing, jewelry, decorative items, purses, locally made natural lotions and more.
I knew I was ready for something different. It sounds strange, but I had a dream that my husband and I were making gift baskets in a store. I woke up and it still seemed like a good idea.
