Purdue Cheerleader Outfit![/caption]
Local shops offer holiday cheer and the perfect gift or compliment to a holiday party! Yesterday I spent the day out with my husband shopping for the perfect gifts while also picking up some much needed items for our holiday party we are hosting this weekend. We got all our Christmas shopping done at local shops and we feel so thankful we got everyone crossed off our list. I would like to share our great buys, and maybe it will inspire you to head out and finish your shopping at our great local businesses.
These are the awesome purchases:
- Scott Frankenberger decorative porcelain pitcher from Interior Objects for my mother who collects his pieces
- A clay baking dish from the Artists' Own Gallery for my Aunt Sally, the baker of the family
- Purdue t-shirt for my brother, a Purdue Grad, at University Spirit
- Candy Canes for everyone's stockings from McCord Candies
- A lovely scarf for my mother in law at Gretel's
- Hodson's Bay Company has so many bicycle gift ideas, but I picked a light rack for my Dad to add to his bike for his bicycle excursions
- A case of Root Beer from Triple XXX for my Great Uncle Harry
- A guitar case for my brother in-law at Klaverenga Guitar and Piano Studio, Inc.
- A great beaded necklace at Inspired Fire Glass Studio and Gallery
- Two Tulips had the cutest child's Purdue cheerleader outfit and I purchased it for one of my girlfriends who just found she was having a girl
- Even a candle for me at Walnut Street Traditions that smells like winter snow
Then I got everything for my dinner party while I was out too!
- A crown roast at Beutler Barbeque Meats & Catering
- A roasting pan and little holiday chef hats to add to my crown roast at KitchenArt
- My produce (asparagus, garlic, onions, etc.) at D&R Market
- The fresh flowers for my table at Rubia Flower Market
- Fresh rolls from O'Rears Bakery
- A rich chocolate cake with buttercream icing decorated with the saying "Congrats on your engagement" from Baker's Peak Bakery (Note: Our holiday party is not only to celebrate Christmas but my best friend's engagement!)
