WaterMark Corners: Be surprised, Be delighted, Shop local
Every time I walk into WaterMark Corners I am delighted by what I find. Some gifts are unique. Some are traditional. Some items are fun. Some are elegant. Some things are practical. Some are wonderfully useless. The variety of products will help you find just the right gift for all ages and interests. Their inventory ebbs and flows, so each visit reveals new products and opportunities to find the perfect gift.
Owned by mother-daughter team, Barbara and Amy Trimble, WaterMark Corners is a specialty gift and stationery store. The store is in three historic buildings on the John Deere Commons across from the John Deere Pavilion in downtown Moline, Illinois. It is always a pleasure to shop in the beautiful surroundings.
You'll find a clothing section with unique and useful products. All of them seem to fit together around the word comfort. I purchased the best pair of leggings I've ever owned at WaterMark Corners. The jewelry is delicate and fashionable and suited to a variety of tastes.
I love wandering the kids area. The games, puzzles, books and other novelties are presented so you can play and test them out. With four kids, I've seen and played with pretty much every toy out there, but WaterMark Corners always has something new. I especially love that some of their kids items have a learning element. They delight and teach. It's a perfect combination.
The kitchen section always offers some gadget I have to buy my brother and his wife. From dish drying gloves to wine stoppers to flavors of tea - they always offer the perfect serving and dining treasure to make any table just that much better.

Each year I purchase notecards for our kids' teachers from WaterMark Corners' stationery section. They have the loveliest options and you can personalize them as well as a variety of other items. One year I bought a friend an address label stamp from there and each year when I receive their Christmas card with the stamp impression, I smile in happiness knowing it was a useful and fun gift.
