Margaret Bedor of Robbinsdale rarely purchased gift cards for holiday gifts in years past. The pandemic changed that. I bought gift cards this year partly because of COVID and partly so people won t have to return them, she said while picking up items at West End in St. Louis Park Wednesday. I bought eight at Christo s restaurant in Minneapolis and a few more at Crystal Cafe in Crystal. It s important to me to support those businesses.
