And now we pause for a commercial break from your local museum
gift-shop: Go shopping there! These photos are from the art museum in my town (Full disclosure: I work there! But still.) but I bet your museum — big or small — has a gift shop that’s stocked full of goodies to make your Christmas shopping a one-stop breeze. And it’s win-win-win: You’ll be able to buy creative and imaginative gifts that I guarantee will be different from anything else under your tree, you’ll be helping out a worthy cause that needs you and you will not end up with the dreaded I’ve-been-in-the-mall-for-four-hours-and-I-still-can’t-find-anything headache. Plus, you’ll look really cool and smart when you’re asked “Where did you find this?” and you can shrug nonchalantly and say, “Oh, at the art museum.” And isn’t that what Christmas-gift-giving all about???!!!
I bought my Christmas cards at the local Art Museum. They also have fun and unusual tree ornaments. Happy Shopping!
Good for you, Kathleen! That’s exactly what I want to hear.
There are two places I always try to shop. One is the local hospital gift shop. The other is the art museum. We still order Online from the museum in Milwaukee.
Good for you, Carolyn. Hospital gift shops are another good source that I don’t think about — thanks for the reminder.
