Normally this week we would be celebrating Secret Santa week, a McNabb & Risley holiday tradition at our store. Every year after Thanksgiving we would draw names and purchase or make little gifts to surprise our co-workers with during the week, leading up to our holiday party.
This year, in the giving spirit of the season, we decided to donate what we would have spent (or more) to the troops in Afghanistan. We then added 100% of the proceeds of an employee sale and a fully decorated Christmas tree to the collection that we mailed to the soldiers. It is a small but loving gesture to the men and women protecting our freedom. As you count your blessings this year, kindly remember our soldiers too.
Would you like to send a care package to our troops? Here are gift items they would appreciate:
Cookies Advil Cold & Sinus Seasonal fun items or games
Vitamin C Vitamin B Healthy snacks
Trail Mix Dried fruit Nuts
Candy Tea Beef jerky
Personal hygiene items (soap, shampoo, etc.) Flavored k-cups (coffee or cocoa)
*No gift wrap please.
Will you be celebrating the holidays on the coast?
Many snowbirds head south for the holidays. If you are one of the lucky ones, deck the halls, walls and guest bedroom with a cool coastal look. Here’s to you and a carefree holiday at the beach!
More coastal inspiration!
All holiday pillows, bedding and personalized stockings are available locally at McNabb & Risley.
Going to the cabin for the holidays?
In Wisconsin we call it “going up north”. Imagine your family’s joy when they arrive to spend the holidays in this tartan themed bedroom. Festive red and deep green are timeless Christmas classics. The upholstered bed gives the bedroom an instant update and provides a rich contrast to the deep color palette of the bedding.
