I’m not sure about you, but the holidays seem to have sprung up on me this year, and I am scrambling for some last minute (recession priced?) gifts. I thought I would share some of my favorite places in town to shop.

Purchase Street in Rye has some great shops that I visit time and again. For a special gift, visit Woodrow Jewelers, a longtime family business that specializes in quality jewelry with a focus on service.  Blush Beauty Bar, Oliviers or Wish are three great stores for hostess gifts for Holiday parties as well as fun treats for yourself (great candles at Blush!) Although not located on Purchase Street, Rye Beach Pharmacy at 464 Forest Avenue is so much more than a pharmacy and a great source for holiday gifts- Charlotte and all the lovely ladies behind the counter are more than happy to

There is a local Kohls, Modells, and other chains, but if you are looking for something special and would like some individualized attention, come see our local merchants.  If you are visiting for the first time, please let them know you first read about their store here! Happy Holidays to all of you!

For those of you with little ones, Sunday is a great day to explore Rye!  I have talked before about the great shops on Purchase Street, and the Rye Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring their annual Mistletoe Magic Family Festival from 12-3 this Sunday, November 29th. We will be there at  William Raveis Real Estate’s Dreamhouse along with several other local merchants with rides, games and crafts for young children. Live musical performances, food, farmer’s market, and lots of fun all around.

If you can’t make it Sunday, consider coming to town for dinner and shopping on Purchase Street for Candlelight Shopping on two consecutive Thursday evenings, December 3rd and December 10th, when many of the local merchants will be open until 10 p.m. Click here to learn more about upcoming holiday events throughout Westchester County, courtesy of Lohud.com.
