Did you glance at the calendar today and suddenly realize that Christmas is less than two weeks away? Are you in all-out panic mode over what to pick up for those hard-to-buy-for people on your gift-giving list this year?
Ok, maybe that’s just me … but at any rate, I took a stroll down Stephen Street the other day and was amazed by the terrific gift ideas I found at the independent stores in just one block. The shop owners and clerks were more than helpful, and the experience was interesting, unhurried–and downright delightful.
I’m happy to share a few of the gift-giving ideas I found on Stephen Street and please feel free to add your suggestions from stores in other parts of town in the comments section of this story, as well.
