Relax, you lovely thing.

The Shop Tart adores this time of year, a day or so before Christmas, when going out to lunch might mean seeing someone you haven’t seen in years who’s home for the holidays. You’ve finished your shopping and, if you haven’t, grab a gift certificate or make a donation in someone’s name. AnnaBelle at LaRoque will add $25 to each $100 gift certificate you purchase. Solstice, Cellar on Green and Mr. Friendly’s are offering free gifts with gift certificate purchases - a bottle of wine with $100, two bottles of wine with $200 and two bottles of wine and an extra $20 gift certificate with $300. Pout will add $25 to any gift certificate over $75. Kicks is a great gift certificate option - they plan to stay open today from 10 am until the shoppers stop shopping. Simply Savory, just down the street, is open until 4 today, so stop in for lunch, buy a case of wine to give to random people who show up on your doorstep bearing gifts, then head to Kicks for a gift certificate or a last minute purchase for someone special. Don’t forget to bid adieu to Tullulah, open for the last time today. Stop by for a glass of Champagne and see if you can’t score a last minute deal or two. While you’re there, ask AnnaBelle (LaRoque) about her exciting plans for her shop.
Make today about people. If you’re lucky enough to be able to shop, take a moment (and take out your wallet) to think about those who are having a hard time this year. A charitable donation made in someone else’s name is always a beautiful gift. And there are plenty of places who can use the help. Justgive.org allows you to search for charities by category and location and donate any amount you choose to the charity of your choice. They’ll even send the person you wish to honor an email telling them about your gift. Spend time with friends, skip the big crowded box stores, forgo the rushed meals and enjoy!
