So Christmas has almost arrived - have you finished your shopping yet? If you haven't, you could head out to Target or Barnes & Noble or one of the department stores down in Redlands or San Bernardino. Sure you'll find
something there, but why not pick up something local? Something that is uniquely Yucaipa? And as a bonus you won't have to deal with traffic or parking.
A few suggestions:
ChocolatesMost people would welcome a gift of fine candy - I know I would - and
Granlund's is the place to get it. Or perhaps a gift certificate that could be used for ice cream when the weather gets warmer.
Pie, pie, pieAs long as there isn't snow, it's a quick drive up to Oak Glen to
buy a pie or other
applacious goodies.
Phat Choppers GearIf bikes are your giftees thing, she or he might like gear from
Phat Choppers.
Handmade Jewelry or ArtIt's too late to place an order to be shipped, but the handmade items created by
Yucaipa's Etsy sellers might be available for direct purchase. I especially like
bshaw's sterling sliver paisley pendent and this
screen print by BlackDogInk.
There are lots of other options of course - gift certificates to local restarants; lessons, instruments, or sheet music from
Yucaipa Music; or items from one of our other shops. Shop local and have a very merry Christmas!

I know you can't tell from my blogging, but I just got back from visiting my parents up in the Bay Area for Christmas. I had a lovely holiday, but it's nice to be home. Tonight we are going over to a small party at a friend's house. We might drop into a local drinking establishment to see a couple of other friends who are playing in the band. Nothing too fancy or flashy, just ringing in 2009 with people we care about.
