The Clutch MOV Staff shares their vaccine bucket list

For most of the world, 2020 was a year of isolation, working from home, and socially-distanced outings. For those who have spent more than a year stuck at home or avoiding large crowds, the COVID-19 vaccine is a major milestone and certainly a welcome one. Vaccination numbers are increasing across the country and folks are rejoicing in their ability to once again do the things they took for granted pre-pandemic. Our team at Clutch MOV shares what they were most looking forward to doing once vaccinated and why getting the vaccine was important to them.

Meryl Williams: The first thing I did the weekend after I was fully vaccinated was take my also vaccinated mother-in-law and sister-in-law to Trader Joe’s, the grocery store/snack dispenser of my dreams. We ate inside a restaurant beforehand — the first time I’d done so since March 13, 2020. It was amazing. I am so relieved to have the vaccine, because it means I can start returning to normal life without the fear of either getting sick myself or inadvertently spreading COVID-19 to those around me.

Olivia Reeder: Normally, our family visits Disney World every year at Christmas, but we didn’t go this past year due to COVID-19. While we had a wonderful Christmas in West Virginia, one of our gifts to ourselves was to reserve a vacation package for Christmas 2021 in hopes that we would be able to go. As they say down there, dreams do come true. I’m happy to report that, as of last month, we’re all vaccinated and will be headed “home” in approximately 220 days.

Emily Rowley: I wanted to get vaccinated so I could be around my family and loved ones without feeling like I was putting them in harms way. So it sounds silly, but the thing I wanted to do most afterwards was just…hugging people. And I’m not generally “a hugger,” really. But you don’t realize how much you can miss human contact until you go a year without touching anyone.

Jennifer Bryant: I feel fortunate to have been fully vaccinated for a month now because there are many countries lagging far behind the US. Visiting with my dad, who has pre-existing conditions, was at the top of my list. A return to traveling ranks pretty high, too!

Joe Stephens: I’m really excited for concerts! My wife Sarah got tickets for me and our daughter Lauren to see Elton John. Unfortunately, it’s still not clear when or if it will ever happen. Hopefully he doesn’t retire for good!

Laura Pytlik: I am excited to hold my new grandson without wearing a mask, and kiss that tiny face! We’re also looking forward to celebrating the 95th birthday of my mother-in-law with lots of hugs and family time.

Sarah Arnold: Now that I’m fully vaccinated, I’m most excited to visit with my grandparents, whom I haven’t seen in more than a year, and hold my brand new nephew! I’m also looking forward to returning to in-person church service, dining in crowded restaurants, and traveling without worrying about maintaining social distance.

Haven’t received your vaccine yet? Learn more about the vaccine and how you can schedule to get vaccinated through the Washington County Health Department and the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department.

This holiday season, as stories spread about huge backlogs with the Postal Service and delays with “big box” store orders, more and more people have discovered the simple pleasure of shopping local. We’ve always been passionate about supporting artists and small makers as a source of unique gifts, and this year more than ever we repeat the mantra of “shop small, shop local.”  Sadly, nearly all the pop-up markets and holiday shows were cancelled, and many of you have missed the opportunity to engage with the creative artisans and see their products in person.

We want to share with you some of the many talented makers that live and work in the Mid-Ohio Valley. You’ll find people who create everything from soap to jewelry to pottery to original art, and you’ll surely get some inspiration to gift someone or just to treat yourself. Although the holiday is quickly approaching and not all the items you see can be shipped in time for Christmas, many makers offer local pickup and stock their items in local shops and boutiques. And gifting isn’t just for Christmas – the opportunity to buy unique, handcrafted items and support local artists happens throughout the year!

Primrose Designs

Owner Courtney Strahler creates wood signs, ornaments, décor and more that fit any style or occasion, from witty to trendy to sweet. She also makes the wood frames herself, and takes custom requests. While her Etsy Shop is closed for the holidays, you can find her unique, custom creations at Wit & Whimzy in Marietta and see all of her designs on her Facebook page.

Back to Basics Log Cabin

Back to Basics Log Cabin in Belpre makes all of their own bath and body products from natural ingredients including honey and beeswax from their hives. They also make their own mineral make up, lotions, body butters, sea salt scrubs, herbal tea blends, essential oil blends, and much more. Owners Randy and Amanda wanted to get “Back to the Basics” of living, providing their family and yours with all natural skin care as well as raw, chemical-free honey. Shop online or visit the cabin to pick out your goods in person!

Just A Jar Design + Press

Just A Jar Design + Press is a family operated letterpress and design studio run by Sara & Bobby Rosenstock that specializes in custom woodcut and letterpress posters. Inside their retail shop and studio on Front Street in Marietta, you’ll find t-shirts, mugs, bandanas, stickers and more featuring Bobby’s handcut designs, as well as one-of-a-kind notebooks, posters, and prints. Many of their items are also available on their Etsy shop, but shopping their brick and mortar allows you to see the printing machines in work and admire decades of artwork lining the studio walls.

River City Leather

River City Leather is a family-owned shop in Gallipolis, Ohio that creates hand-made leather goods with a lifetime guarantee. Aaron found leather work as a hobby while recovering from a motorcycle accident – but it quickly became more than just a hobby. Starting in their shed, Aaron and Erin now work and sell in a storefront on the town’s main drag and employ 10 people. Their products have a beautifully timeless design, rooted in practicality and made to last. In addition to their beautiful purses and bags, you can find a number of items under $30 to help you stuff those stockings!

For those looking to provide the at home spa experience for the holidays, Lindsey Pinkerton of Perfectly Pink is ready to deliver. Her line of bath, body, and home products are handcrafted and hand poured in small batches to ensure freshness and quality.
