hotopp jewelry & gifts named le mars chamber business of the year!

We were humbled to receive the Le Mars Chamber Business of the Year Award Thursday evening, January 22,   It was a total surprise and an extra bonus that our awesome staff could join us on stage for this honor.
It was 48 years ago that we purchased the store at the age of 21 years old.
The Chamber has been a big part of our business/community philosophy since we began this nearly five decade journey.  It was a natural partnership as Dave's mom was the first female President of the Le Mars Chamber in the late 1960's.  We have both served on the Chamber board and we've been Chamber Ambassadors for close to 35 years.
We are so blessed by the support of the community over these many years and to have such a wonderful group of employees who are also great friends.
Again--THANK YOU!  We look forward to serving you in 2026!!!!

Willow Tree Angel

we carry the popular willow tree figurines

Great Gifts for a friend, a memorial remembrance, or just for you !!!!
Pictured is "The Messenger"- this special figurine with a cardinal on her shoulder!  Willow Tree® is an intimate line of figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect and inspire. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. Expression is revealed through gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. The simplicity of form and absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan's hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.
