It’s hard to believe that Christmas is almost here and in our house, Chanukah has arrived already. I’m certainly not finished nor has anyone I have spoken to in the last week completed or in some cases made that first ring at the register. Is it just me, or if I didn’t buy it online, in most cases I haven’t purchased it?! Now I certainly don’t want to pay shipping charges or deal with the traffic at the malls. So the solution is to find those quick and easy familiar places that we can get in and out of to finalize our gift lists!
The Chic Sheet turned to some of our retail friends to give us some insider info on what’s in store and what the late-ones are wanting as they are scurrying through their stores. The following are some of the highlights of many of the special offerings still out there for the late, late show!
