Gifts for the holidays
Have you made your list and checked it twice? Or are you stumped trying to find the perfect gifts? Well, before you run out of shopping days, we thought we’d take the lead and help you complete that Christmas list (since, of course, we want to be on the nice, not naughty, list!).
And, to top it off, we picked Gwinnett’s newest shopping destination – the Avenue Webb Gin in Snellville. Only open since August, you’ll discover some hip, trendy stores here that you won’t find anywhere else in Gwinnett.
So, without further ado (since you have lots of shopping to do) here are some great gift ideas from a variety of the Avenue’s retailers. Be forewarned though, this is just a sample of the stores…you’ll discover many more when you visit, so be prepared to shop a while!
Natural Body
A gift certificate from Natural Body is always a great gift idea. They can be used at any of the 11 Atlanta locations and can be given for any amount or for a specific service, such as a Signature Massage for $75, Signature Facial for $80 or the Bamboo Lemongrass Body Scrub which includes a mini massage for $110.
One of Oprah's favorites from Natural Body for keeping warm in the winter is Tea Forte. It’s a delicious, healthy tea that’s beautifully packaged. Flavors include: oasis, ginger, forte, citrus mint and earl grey (from $5.50 - $10.50). The tea collection contains 15 teas for $20.50.
Give someone special these fabulous body lotions, washes and candles from Red Flower at Natural Body. Natural Body carries a variety of scents, from blood orange to Thai honeysuckle. Prices range from $35 for a large “petal top” candle to $13 for body washes.
