Gifts from around the block

Here we are… 10 days until Christmas, 5 days left of Hanukkah, and a couple weeks left of holiday soirées and dinner parties. Where has the time gone?! If you like to shop down to the last minute or whirl through stores ticking off your gift list all in one go (or even if you just need one more something) we have a couple suggestions that might help you out…

We love shopping local. Whenever we can, we buy from local businesses and support local makers. We are always impressed during the holidays with what we can find “just down the street”. A couple days ago we set out down 4th Avenue in Kitsilano and roamed around the Armoury District in search of gift-worthy items.
