Greetings!  

Feel free to digest your Thanksgiving dinner, watch some football & sleep in a little on Black Friday. We open at the civilized hour of 10 am. Isn't it time to bring some sanity back to this special time of year?
Peruse our Gift Guide for ideas, knowing that this is just a tiny fraction of what we have to entice & delight you. Visit our Blog daily for additional inspirations. Our variety means one stop shopping: get in, get out & put your feet up. We can even add bows to our signature boxes in exchange for a donation to Childhelp, making your post-shopping time even easier.

 

Hometown Holiday Cheer

Sunday, December 5    2 - 5pm
Peter Princiotto, guitar

Wednesday, December 8    4:30 - 6:30pm
Jody Marshall, hammered dulcimer

also happening in our front yard:

Saturday, December 4    7:30am

Sunday, December 5    4pm
McLean Winterfest Parade and Tree Lighting  
Shed Some Light
Oy vey, Hanukkah is early this year!  Make it special with fine metal & glass menorahs & hand-dipped candles. Add elegance with handcrafted work by Israeli artists. Sprinkle liberally with dreidls & goofy gifts for the kids.
   
Ayala Bar, Hanukkah novelty glasses, English Pewter menorah
Steampunk Style
Vintage for today.  Trinkets of  Industrial Age technology used as fashion.  Is it geeky, cheeky or just chic?
mesh bracelet, pin by Mullanium, Alchemy
Keeping Score
Guys like sports & games. Good thing, because otherwise, what would we give them? Sure, we have neckties, too.
FG Galassi frames and poker set, Chalk Talk dice game, Beer Pong calendar
Literati
The turn of a phrase turns them on. Reality TV means nothing in comparison to a well-constructed plot with made-up characters that are more believable.
Shakespearean insult mug, Saving the Best for Last, Kindle stand
World Traveler
On the go, open to new ideas, in need of functional accessories.
Baggalini, Cathayana jewelry roll, Vapur bottle
