Good morning, Wichita!

Less than one week until Christmas! Got everything ready to go?

Let’s get to it!

Last Minute Gift

Our custom Wichita Life Cityscape Puzzle is set to arrive this weekend and ship out early next week. Will it make it by Christmas? Maybe. Will it be close? Definitely.

Either way, it’s officially puzzle season.

Full disclosure: nobody’s perfect. We aren’t perfect, and this puzzle isn’t quite perfect either, despite our best try. There’s a tiny font variation in a couple of spots you’ll probably never notice unless you’re actively looking for it (just think of it as an additional easter egg like the many already in the puzzle).

You can think of it as a collector’s edition that no one else will ever have, like the Buffalo Nickel or 1943 Copper Penny.

What is perfect?

The quality. Thick pieces, beautiful detail, and a one-of-a-kind Wichita design you won’t find anywhere else.

Coffee table-worthy, great for family nights, and a genuinely thoughtful local gift.

We’ll have a limited number available. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

(They’ll also be back in stock at Love of Character and Clifton Collective soon!)

Together with The Date Maven

Single men of Wichita (50s–70s):

If you’re active, emotionally grounded, and intentional about dating, this may be worth your time. We introduce kind, health-conscious women who are genuinely ready for a committed partnership.

This isn’t app-based dating. No swiping. No public profiles. Just private, discreet, and carefully vetted introductions designed to respect your time and your values.
