Stocking Stuffers and More

We're really ready for the holidays now that we've unpacked all of our travel-sized candles! Of course, we have quite a few full-size (up to 100 hours!) candles, home fragrances, and lotions available also. I think the travel-sizes make great stocking stuffers though - we have both tins and jars with very decorative packaging in a variety of scents. These little petite maison jars are my current favorites!

Holiday Open House

You're invited! The shops here in the Belair Courtyard are hosting an Open House tomorow (Friday) from 5 'til 8. Join us for refreshments, sales and discounts, prize drawings, and a fun evening of crossing gifts off your holiday shopping list. :-)

Holiday Craft Fair

Cocoa Village's annual holiday craft fair is this weekend! Saturday and Sunday, 10 - 5, come check out your favorite merchants (like us!) as well as over 140 art and craft vendors. It should be busy and fun and a great way to accomplish a little (or even a lot) of holiday shopping. Shopping in the village ensures that your gifts will be unique and is a great way to support our local economy!

Small Business Saturday

Have you heard about Small Business Saturday? It's a nationwide movement intended to increase patronage of independently owned small businesses on the Saturday after Black Friday. Here at Village Home, we'll be offering special holiday sales and discounts. As an incentive to visit small businesses this Saturday, American Express is even giving statement credits for qualifying purchases! Just go to www.smallbusinesssaturday.com/enroll to sign up, and then spend $25 or more at an independently owned business tomorrow in order to receive your $25 credit. That's a free Christmas gift for someone on your list!

Nursery Bear

This bear is an old favorite at Village Home - a real best seller. She's from the Gund Fun line and is just mesmerizing to little ones of the right age! Nurserytime Bear holds a baby bear and tells five nursery rhymes when you press her paw. Like all Gund gifts, she is super soft and sure to be cherished.

Shopping Time

Do you realize that Christmas is only five weeks away? I am REALLY not prepared and need to get started on my holiday shopping! I like to have time to wander the stores, picking up little things here and there. I find this to be much more enjoyable when I'm not rushed and do not absolutely have to find everything in one afternoon. I think I'll visit my favorite shops this weekend to give myself enough time!
