On the 2nd of 5 days of Christmas...
The Icon scrunched the 12 Days of Christmas into the 5 Icon Days of Christmas, in honor of those last-minute shoppers who want to shop local. Here's four ideas, plus one bonus idea, for the 2nd Icon Day of Christmas.
Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main St.
You could purchase one book or more in someone’s name and then inform the recipient of your gift. The library’s wish list is on Amazon. It shows the fiction list if you are not signed in to Amazon. Once you sign in, it shows all of library’s lists, which includes the children's section, non-fiction, music and movies. CLICK HERE FOR THE WISH LIST.
Family True Value Hardware, 109 N. Main St.
Yes, Virginia, you can still buy a Bluffton Slaw Cutter in Bluffton. A range of Swiss-sharp cutters are available from $14.95 to $34.95. The slaw cutters are engraved with the wording "Bluffton made."
The Dough Hook, 117 N. Main St.
Here you'll find all sorts of Christmas gifts, including gift cards, meat packages, cases of canned meat, candy and cookie baking kits plus prime ribs, ham loaf and holiday hams.
Roots by Strattons, 111 S. Main St.
The shop opened on Blaze weekend and offers lots of items related to plants, trees, birds and gifts. Local items includes holiday arrangements created by staff members and Jamie Nygaard framed photographs.
BONUS - Gift certificates - first, remember that many Bluffton businesses – don't forget your favorite Bluffton restaurant – offer their own gift certificates.
