What better way to decorate your tree, mantel, or bookshelf than with a collection of hipster sheep ornaments? These guys are adorable and not fragile - perfect for homes with curious children and pets. Raven Rose just got them in this week, so head in for fresh home decor and gifts! Raven Rose is the new florist and gift boutique that replaced La Bella Rosa on the east end of town.


Your friend who loves everything succulents probably doesn’t have this Succulent Clock - a mason jar with a succulent ecosystem inside and a clock on top. That’s three big wins with this gift: people who love mason jars, people who love clocks, AND people who love succulents. There’s only one in stock, so head over to reMADE fast! 

Let your little ones splash in all the puddles they want in a pair of baby Bogs boots! Mountain Tops has several fun designs in stock, and they are all 100% waterproof, made with 3mm Neo-Tech insulation, and lined with cozy plush material. The best part: They’re machine washable!


The most practical people can be the hardest to shop for, but East End, formerly the Pfotoshop, has a selection of gifts that are stylish AND practical. Look no further than this stainless steel thermos with a hidden folding spoon and a cap that doubles as a cup!

Check out Beacon Mayor Randy Casale in his new Dita frames from Luxe Optique! If you want to look as stylish as he does, you’re in luck: Luxe Optique is having a special Dita event on Friday from 3pm - 6pm. Then on Saturday from 3pm - 7pm, head in for the ic! Berlin trunk show (yes, that's not a typo, it sounds like "I See!"). Remember, you can use your health savings and flexible spending account dollars on new frames. Plus, get a free eye exam with glasses purchase through December 15th!


Feeling a little monochromatic? That won’t limit your options with new collections from MINKPINK, J.O.A., BB Dakota, Free People, and more at Style Storehouse! Whether you’re feeling stripes or solids, classic black, shades of grey, or even sequins, you’ll find it in the shop, along with the accessories you need to complete your look.
