We know that BriarPatch is a great place to buy groceries, but it’s also an awesome place to get one-of-a-kind gifts. Whether it’s a super-cute military style BriarPatch hat or some yummy smelling local soaps, there’s a lot to choose from.
One of my favorite gift ideas is giving a bottle of wine. Not only is it a classy gift, it’s also very economical. You can get a really amazing bottle of wine for twenty bucks. How many things can you say that about?
There are also tons of items around the Wellness and Household areas of the store. Brand new Chico bags just came in. There are nature prints, karma prints, slings, and messenger bags — and they still fold down to a tiny thing you can stow in your car or purse.
How about a reclaimed cedar plank for the griller in your life?
Plus there’s scarves and hats and gloves that are both cozy and stylish for those long winter nights.
Of course, there’s always food. Currently, you can find fancy chocolates and organic candy canes on the Grocery end cap between aisles one and two. Mandarin oranges are always a good choice, and they come pre-wrapped!
Another of my favorite, inexpensive ways of giving gifts is to buy a mason jar, fill it with dry ingredients in separate layers, tie it with pretty ribbon, add a recipe for cookies, soup, or whatever it is those dry ingredients will create when combined, and you have an instant hit.
I’ve also learned that creating gift baskets can be a fancy looking but economical way to go. Shop with a theme, and shop the sales. A basket with olive oil, pasta, sauce, polenta, and other Italian inspired products can create a basket under forty dollars. Just carry a calculator and stick to your budget.
Who knew the Co-op was such a good idea for your Holiday shopping? And there are so many ideas I didn’t even touch on. Come on down, shop, and have some fun!
