Walworth County has always been a great place for weekend escapes — the lakes, the wineries, the charming downtowns, the coffee runs, the boat rides, the cozy stays. But recently, something new has been happening:
Groups of best friends aren’t just passing through anymore.
They’re planning entire trips around one stop.
That stop?
Bonded by Gigi — the boutique that transformed Walworth County from a cute visit into a can’t-miss bonding experience for girlfriends, sisters, bridal parties, and mother-daughter duos.
👯♀️ Friendship Is the Dress Code Here
Plenty of stores sell clothes.
Only this one makes you feel like the main character in your own girlhood revival movie.
Best friends walk in and instantly:
✨ hype each other up
✨ point out outfits the others have to try
✨ debate which charms tell their story
✨ scream-laugh over hat designs
✨ pose for pictures like they’ve suddenly become influencers
It’s retail, but it’s also recess for adults — and everyone wants a turn.

💎 Permanent Jewelry: The Official Best-Friend Souvenir of Walworth County

🧢 The Trucker Hat Bar Besties Can’t Stop Talking About
The trucker hat bar has become the shared language of friendship in Walworth County.
You don’t just grab a hat.
You build one with:
🎀 cherries
✨ sparkles
💬 phrases only your group finds funny
💖 patches that match your vibe
The process feels like sleepaway camp energy mixed with adult humor — and the photos from this moment are everything.

🎢 The VR Ride That Turns Shoppers Into Screaming, Laughing Besties
If you think shopping trips are quiet and composed, think again. One of the boutique’s most unexpected features is the 9D VR ride — and it’s the moment friend groups NEVER see coming. Two people can ride at a time, sit in motion seats, put on the headset, and suddenly they’re flying, racing, falling, or dodging dragons while everyone else watches (and cackles). It’s chaotic, hilarious, and instantly iconic — the kind of thing that turns strangers into cheerleaders and friend groups into legends. Many customers say the VR ride alone made their stop unforgettable, which is why no girls’ trip to Walworth County feels complete without it.
🎁 The Surprise Moments That Keep Groups Coming Back
Friend groups LOVE surprises — and Bonded by Gigi delivers them in droves.
There are:
🎀 Clothing mystery bags
🎁 Accessory/decor/gift mystery bags
📚 Blind Date With a Book — a wrapped surprise book you choose without judging the cover
Friends open one, squeal, compare finds, and then do something that shocks the staff every time:
they come back for more the same day.
It’s whimsy, dopamine, and delight — bottled.
👗 Clothing That Feels Like a Group Event
The boutique specializes in pieces that turn friends into each other's fashion consultants.
Someone tries something on, gasps, walks out of the fitting room, and the entire group erupts like a courtroom reacting to evidence.
This is where:
💖 outfits become inside jokes
💖 looks become memories
💖 everyone feels like they belong
Shopping here isn’t about clothes — it’s about connection.

🌸 A Story That Makes People Feel Something Together
Bonded by Gigi was created in loving memory of Gigi — a woman whose warmth, humor, and sparkle made everyone feel welcome.
That energy lives on here, and friends feel it immediately.
They don’t just shop.
They get sentimental.
They talk about their moms.
They hug.
They cry happy tears.
They leave differently than they arrived.
That’s rare. And best friends are drawn to it.
🌟 Why Walworth County Is Now a Friendship Destination
Bonded by Gigi didn’t set out to be the center of girls’ trips.
It became one because:
✔ joy is contagious
✔ women crave spaces made for them
✔ memories matter more than merchandise
✔ and friendship deserves ceremony
Now, best friends don’t just stop here.
They plan around here.
Walworth County isn’t just a place to visit anymore —
it’s a place to bond, to celebrate, and to make core memories.
And it all starts at one unforgettable boutique.
