Be a good Scout this Christmas!

Most of us will spend the weekend doing all those things we can't quite get around to during the week. And on top of everything else, party follows party. Now where is that cute hostess gift I bought?

Take a look at your calendar. By now, you probably know whose parties you'll attend, whose guest you (and your family) will be. Do yourself a favor and borrow that classic Scouting motto and BE PREPARED! Don't rush around hoping you have a bottle of wine or some yummy treat to take and say 'thanks for hosting us.'

Make a trip as soon as you can to your favorite source and get all your hostess goodies NOW. Then go home, wrap, sack, bow and tag each one of them so they are ready to walk out the door when you are! Better yet, let the shop do the multi-tasking for you. Choose a place that does cute wrap and bow, and abracadabra! You're finished.


Some of our favorites?
- a single gorgeous tree ornament
- fun cocktail napkins with a clever spreader
- a bottle of wine with a twist; add a seasonal wine cork
- handmade toffee, candy or snacks; my favorite is anything chocolate
you get the idea...

I can hear you breathing a sigh of relief now, and it's only December 6th!
