We love the holiday season - really, what’s not to love about beautiful décor, the smell of Christmas trees, and finding special gifts for the people you love most. This year has been, well, quite different than years past, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the amazing selection of gifts you can find right here in Alexandria. With a quick trip (or a quick trip online), you can find great gifts and support our local small businesses. Here are a few items that will be under our tree this year… 

Poldina Tall Lamp from Boxwood

  We adore this lamp because of its versatility. It’s wireless, so can go just about anywhere, and it turns on by touch. (Available at Boxwood, $142)

Lucite Card Box from Boxwood

  For all the time we will have around the fire – my kids are big into poker, so this is perfect! (Available at Boxwood, $65)

Santa’s Little Helpers Puzzle from Red Barn Mercantile

  Another great family activity for the holidays that doesn’t require phones or the TV. (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $24)

Gold Bird Metallic Pencils from Red Barn Mercantile

 These are a great stocking stuffer for my artistic daughter. (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $10)

Veronica Beard Slippers and Skin Robe from The Shoe Hive

   There is nothing better than cozying up (and looking great while doing it!) during the holidays. (Available at The Shoe Hive, Slippers, $195; Robe, $160)

Ulla Johnson Dress from The Hive

  Even though we are in for the holidays, I’m treating myself to this cute number! (Available at The Hive, $345)

The Gift of Home Design from Ivy Lane Living

  A simple or significant refresh with Ivy Lane to enjoy what we all know will be more time spent at home in 2021! We have so many wonderful stores in our community and we want them around next year and beyond. So, remember to shop small this holiday season. Happy Holidays to everyone!
