Holiday Gift Ideas

When Ed and I head out on our buying trips to trade shows in Atlanta, New York, and Las Vegas, we are always searching for new and unique merchandise. Over the past couple years, we have stumbled upon two great gift ideas, from the religious category. We carry a nice selection of religious merchandise, and always try to find items out of the normal realm of figurines and wall decor.

Our first find came several years ago from a company called Roman that specializes in religious giftware. The Christ's Story bracelet, has quickly become our #1 selling item in the store because of its uniqueness and practicality. For $14.99, you can have the story of Christ on your wrist in a beautiful charm bracelet with each bead representing a different part of his life. With the company's success in this bracelet, they have moved into other inspirational and holiday stories including 'The Night Before Christmas,' 'Jingle Bells,' 'Silent Night,' and 'The Nativity Story.' They have also expanded on the original Christ's Story with picture frames and crosses. All of which are available at Designers Center.

We stumbled upon the other great gift idea this past summer, and it has quickly become a hit! Three Kings Gifts comprise the three gifts that were brought to Jesus the night of his birth - gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Until now, we have heard the story, but most of us had never seen frankincense and myrrh before. The idea came to chemist who was on a business trip in the middle east and found a vendor selling these two incense. He got thinking and decided to market these as the original gifts of Christmas. Now, this Christmas you can give the same gifts the three kings did.
The Three Kings Gifts come in several sizes great for displaying in your home or presented as a gift.

We'll keep you posted on more unique gift ideas as we get closer to the Holidays. Until then, we are still taking Layaways for Christmas, so come in and reserve your holiday gifts early.
