9 Days 'Til Christmas Ideas: 4 Calling Birds
With only 9 days left until Christmas, Patch brings you unique ideas for shopping local in Weston, Redding and Easton.
On Sunday we brought you 12 Days ‘Til Christmas: Ideas For Shopping Local and shared gift ideas for those who may want a “partridge” (real or record album) or a “pear tree.” Monday‘s gift ideas involved two turtledoves. Tuesday we brought you ”Three French Hens” or Three French Lens (as in eyeglasses), or Three French Wines, which doesn’t really rhyme, but it makes a great gift idea for wine lovers on your list.
Wednesday’s idea is based on “four calling birds.” Give the gift of a new cell phone to your loved one at one of the local stores listed below.
