Wrapping paper flying through the air, ribbons landing in your hair, and tissue paper everywhere – the sometimes hectic flurry of holiday gift exchanges is an annual delight for both givers and receivers. Though for some, the intangible gift of an experience is just as much a treat – if not more – than toys, clothing or other wares. Below are places around town to consider for giving the ones you love experience-based gifts.
Reserve a space at The Blended Essentials as a holiday gift or consider a gift certificate. The shop will host its annual BE Holiday Monday Makers Nights on December 1, 8 and 15. Participants can create personalized gifts and stocking stuffers. Craft mini candles, scrubs, bath soak ornaments, foaming hand soaps, lotions, fragrance rollers, and sprays while enjoying light snacks and refreshments.
