This is #3 in a series I’ve been doing about Shopping Local.
My hope is that others do this in their home town.
The other two posts are
here and
here.
Mission Hills Area
Maison En Provence is a beautiful little store filled with household and other gift items hand picked by the owners from France.
Little lavender sachets to gourmet food items, there’s bound to be a nice gift for someone special.
The Huddle doesn’t have a website. What they have is old-fashioned diner style food. Located at 4023 Goldfinch St, they offer no frills but it’s a great, inexpensive place to eat. They offer gift certificates and they also sell their homemade jams and during the Holidays, PIES at $7 a PIE. Did you miss that? Homemade pie, the granddaughter affirmed she was still traumatized after last years experience, they roll out the dough and make them there. And when we bought our Holiday pies, it was buy 3 get one free….
Olivetto is a cozy café and wine bar that I’ve been to a couple of times. A great place for a girls night out, their truffle fries are delicious and I’m assured their wine selection is very tasty.
Fridays in Mission Hills, there is a small Farmers Market that sells lovely food items for the Foodie on your list.
Entertainment
Intrepid Shakespeare Company is offering a HUGE 50% off discount on their entire season subscription for 2012.
That’s an incredible deal when you see what it normally is (hint less than the price of movie tickets).
Offer valid 11/25-11/28 (Black Friday through Cyber Monday).
Use Coupon Code: 2012 when checking out online.
Magazine Subscriptions – who doesn’t like a great magazine?
Just a few suggestions:
For writers or readers who like to take a walk in a different slice of life
The Sun, to better living and how to simplify the everyday things
Real Simple,
for those trying to incorporate healthy eating options into their lives
Vegetarian Times.
Spiritual Cinema Circle sends spiritually uplifting and inspirational movies on a monthly basis and you keep the DVD.
I loved what they would send, often several short films and then a feature length movie on one DVD.
Great for families looking to spend quality time together.
Here’s a
post from a blog I follow instead of buy something, make something, includes suggestions, pictures and instructions.
Your suggestions, comments and feedback are always important.
Yoga For Every Body: For those who have maybe tried a yoga class and left feeling more discouraged, or afraid to even go to a yoga class, this one’s for you. In this workshop, we’ll experience different styles of yoga and find the one that works for you. You’ll leave the class with a personalized home practice and a new yoga mat.
