Christmas ideas in Mariemont
The holiday season is upon us. If you are pressed for time, lost for ideas, or just wanting to grab a few more gifts for loved ones, friends or co-workers, don't forget to check out some of these businesses for what stocking-stuffers or last minute gift pick-ups they have to offer.
The Top Drawer
Mariemont's needlepoint shop has hundreds of canvasses featuring a myriad of styles, messages, pictures and holiday themes. The needlepoint ladies will be offering a Santa Claus class on Feb. 16, which would be a good idea for anyone who has expressed an interest in picking up the hobby or strengthening their present skills. Cost for the class is $125.
The shop will be hosting their semi-annual sale from Dec. 27 to Jan. 12, where selected canvasses will be marked down 20 percent to 75 percent off.
And in January the shop will be having a "finishing" special where 10 percent will be marked off re-finishing any tired Christmas ornaments before they are packed away. Finishing is like polishing a pair of shoes that have become a little marred due to wear. People can "polish" their canvassed projects by adding new color and with their needlepointing.
The Top Drawer will be closed Dec. 24, 25 and 26, and closed Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, 2008. Owner Sandy McKee also wants people to be looking for a new special rewards program that will be starting in the new year.
Heileman & Co. Jewelers
Heileman & Co. Jewelers, who has made its name through designing and making their own jewelry, is having a 10 percent to 30 percent off sale on its jewelry and 50 percent off their Maurice Lacroix watches.
