Dunedin has never been shy about offering you something. It offers you sunshine, it offers you the idea that a random Tuesday is a festival, and now it would like to offer you a gift shop visit that doubles as a community hug.
Lasting Impressions, a new-to-some, newly recharged boutique at 322 Main St., is getting attention all over Tampa Bay after a TikTok creator urged Pinellas locals to “flood this business with love and support.” The post says owners Vicki and Marc traded gym life for retail life when Vicki began fighting stage 4 cancer, choosing a business that is less physically punishing while they keep moving forward, together.
Inside, the vibe is part coastal boutique, part “I came in for a card and left with a sun hat and a moral obligation.” Screenshots from the TikTok show racks of beachwear, “shirts & sunnies,” and shelves stocked with gifts that look like they were curated by someone who understands that Florida is basically a year-round birthday party.
