If you didn’t enjoy great success over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and cringe at the thought of going to the Mall, it may be time to look closer to home for holiday gifts for the women in your life.
Whether you’re a man or a woman, if you’re looking for stunning presents for daughters, granddaughters, the niece you adore, or a sister-in-law you do not, hurry over to the display window at the Shortline Cafe for December and see what the Ladies’ Boutique has to offer smart Charlestown shoppers for Christmas this year! The 2023 display surpasses the excellent selection from last year; and … you’ll beat the Christmas rush and save a boatload of cash.
Gifting friends and family with selections from high-end, pre-loved goods is becoming increasingly popular among shoppers of all ages, according to a recent article in the Washington Post. And recipients realize that being gifted with something unique, classic, trendy, or just plain practical that had been purchased and loved (or often purchased and stored away, but never used) by a former owner can be a terrific experience. It’s a smart trend that is gentle on the wallet and kind to a planet covered with “trash” of every sort, including fabric.
As they did in 2022, Boutique management has collected a stellar array of new and like-new designer and high-end handbags and mostly-brand-new casual holiday fashions and accessories just in time to help Charlestown shoppers avoid the Mall and accompanying holiday stress!
Shoppers can easily arrange for a delivery date by calling Peggy Romenesko (her number is highlighted on the information plaque in the window). If you leave a message, state the number of your selection and your name & phone number. Peggy will return your call, confirm that the item is still available, and arrange a time for pick-up. (Payment in cash or by check is due at pick-up.)
And while you’re admiring the inventory, think about buying yourself a Christmas treat! Your purchase will benefit your wallet, our tired planet, and Charlestown’s Benevolent Care Fund … so it’s a holiday win-win-win!
