Find Last Minute Gifts, Gifts to Last a Lifetime and More on the Avenue

            Today’s blog, the second of five this week, will give you some more gift-giving ideas:

            Host/Hostess Gifts:        

Some of the Christmas treats
at Martha's Candy.


            Sweets for the sweet: Martha’s Candy has added many Christmas candies to satisfy any sweet tooth. And there’s quite a selection of sugar-free candies, too. Fill up a festive bag or a customized box of candy for anyone on your list.
            Say “Merry Christmas” with flowers! Pick up a bouquet or order flowers to be delivered locally or anywhere. So many holiday arrangements are available to choose from at Glendora Florist or at She’s Florist (100 N. Glendora Ave., Ste. 106, 626-335-2034). 
            For the gourmet host: Pick a bottle of wine, grab a pound of savory coffee or tea, or pick up the latest food-prep gadget at the Village Kitchen Shoppe. Or give a gift certificate for one of the store’s many cooking workshops.
            Put together a gift basket: Head to Just 99 Cent Deals for a selection of home, food and decor gifts.
            Pick up an ornament (or two) for your host: Drop by Lorisa Gardens Christmas Store on the Avenue for plenty to choose from. Read more about it here.
            Wrap It All Up: Wrap those hostess gifts with beautiful papers and cards from Periwinkle Emporium.
Periwinkle Emporium offers plenty of gift wrap.
 

            Give Yourself Home Improvement in 2014:

            The designers of Glendora Interiors can help make your home design dreams come true.
            You’ll be “floored” by the choices the Glendora Floor Store offers.
            Luxe Homes and Design can fulfill your Christmas wishes for a new home design in 2014.

            A Gift to Last a Lifetime:

            Perfect Tyme will deliver that grandfather (or grandmother) clock that will become a family heirloom. If you have a clock that’s not ticking, Perfect Tyme will fix it, too.

Hobbyists:    

           The quilter in your life will enjoy a gift from The SewNSew that offers more than 4,000 bolts of fabrics (see photo at left), threads, sewing machines as well as classes to use it all.
            Your yard sale aficionados will appreciate furniture refinishing ideas, paints and tools offered at Knot Too Shabby.
