Here Come the Holidays!

Here's some great suggestions to help you shop local this holiday season.

If you are shopping for Christmas and Hanukkah gifts, there is ample time to purchase, wrap, send and deliver your presents. And, you may be able to do most-if not all-of your shopping right here in Mercer Island! Here is just a sampling of gift ideas from a few of our local merchants:

Oh! Chocolate confections may satisfy even the most selective person on your list. Perhaps you need hostess gifts, gifts for coworkers, neighbors, teachers or other special people on your list. Oh! Chocolate offers an amazing selection of milk, dark and white chocolate truffles, nut chews and french creams. You can also select from a variety of satin ribbons to customize your purchase. As an added bonus, whenever you make a purchase at Oh! Chocolate, you get to choose your own treat to sample. Call 206-232-4974 to learn more about their delectable treats or place an order.

Ahhhh... ... If someone on your list has been especially nice, this year, you just might wish to consider a gift certificate for a service from Spa Mercer. The massage therapists knead and coax tense muscles into a soft and supple state-and leave you feeling renewed and relaxed. Their monthly specials are posted on their website, and their menu of services include facials, body waxing, foot massages, body massages, and cupping therapies. Why not escape the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and pamper yourself. Call 206-232-8816, today, for you, or another special someone on your list.

A gift certificate at  is the ideal place to go for your favorite yogi. They have everything from Gentle Vinyasa classes that help de-stress the body and the mind, to Power Yoga, which is a high energy, dynamic class, that helps build strength and inner power. Yogsbliss is offering a special two month unlimited yoga class pass, for $150.00, for new clients. Call 206-275-2300 for more information or visit their website.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
