The Summerland Advocate-Messenger - Reliable, Trustworthy Reporting, Capturing The Heartbeat Of Our Community

A Clearwater business is offering last-minute holiday gift suggestions.

On Saturday, from 3 to 5 p.m., the sidebar, located in The Office, at 522 Main Street, will host a sip, shop and socialize event.

Shop the sidebar for gift items, stocking stuffers and teacher gifts. Paparazzi Jewelry will be onsite, offering the latest trends.

Jim Bean coffee, apple cider, hot cocoa and wine will be served while guests shop.

A cookie exchange is also planned. Bring a dozen of your family's favorites and leave with new favorites from neighbors.

Don't bake? No problem.

Pre-made plates will be available for a freewill donation to the Clearwater Historical Society.

Owner LuAnn Schindler said be sure to bring along the kids.

"We will have holiday T-shirts available for kids to color. We screenprint them and they color the designs," she said.

Limited quantities are available.

Clearwater Historical Society composite books will also be available for purchase.

"The books would be the perfect gift for a hard-to-buy-for family member. Lots of memories," Schindler said.
