Wish List

Oh my, is it that time already? I'm sort of in Christmas denial over here, because everything seems to be moving so quickly! At the shop, we don't really like to buy into the whole retail idea that the Christmas Season starts the day after Halloween, so we have avoided doing any holiday displays or Christmas themed posts just yet. That doesn't mean we aren't thinking about it though, and that doesn't mean you shouldn't be either....

Every year we get a ton of last minute shoppers on the 23rd and 24th. Not to make any judgements here, but I would say those last minute shoppers are about 95% male. Guys shopping for their ladies are one of my very favourite things about holidays at the shop because it's just so darn sweet to see those men trying to figure out just what their lady would love. Sometimes its hard for them so, so we decided to make it a little easier for everyone with a White Elephant Wish List!

See how great this thing works? That's a live demonstration above, with me being thrilled over the lovely things I'm going to get as gift now that I've filled out the wish list! Anyone who wants can sign their name to the wish list, along with a list of lovely things they have their eye on at the shop. When someone comes in looking for a gift for that special someone, BAM, they have a whole list of things waiting for them. A registry of sorts, for no occasion at all!

Starting this week we also have Christmas cards out in the shop. Did you know that etiquette states you're supposed to have your Christmas cards in the mail by December 1st? I didn't know that either, but Hollie loves etiquette. She's my go-to etiquette guide when Emily Post isn't available. We recently got in some amazing new cards from Rifle Paper Co., Fugu Fugu Press, Dutch Door Press and Fine Day Press, so you won't fail your etiquette lessons this year.  We're looking out for you.

Come start your holiday shopping at White Elephant! We promise we won't overkill you with Christmas decorations, but we might be full of cheer.
