Inside The Market of Lake Geneva, you’ll find one of the happiest, most Instagram-worthy spots in town: Bonded by Gigi. It’s a bright, girly boutique filled with pink décor, disco balls, and fun Y2K energy — the kind of place that instantly makes you smile.
Here, you and your bestie can do more than just shop — you can make memories. Start with permanent jewelry, the modern version of the friendship bracelet. Choose from dainty sterling silver or gold-filled chains and optional charms that represent your friendship — like hearts, initials, or birthstones. You’ll get custom-fit pieces that are welded right on, creating a sweet and symbolic way to celebrate your bond.
After your zap, head to the Trucker Hat Bar to design matching (or totally opposite) hats that fit your personalities. Whether you go for something funny, sassy, or sentimental, it’s a creative way to take home a keepsake that reminds you of the trip every time you wear it.
And if you want a dose of adventure, hop on the 9D VR Ride in-store. You’ll sit side-by-side, buckle up, and experience wild simulations together — flying, racing, or even exploring the ocean without ever leaving Lake Geneva. It’s guaranteed to bring out your inner kids (and lots of laughter).
📍 Bonded by Gigi is located inside The Market of Lake Geneva at 830 W Main St, Lake Geneva, WI.
