So, we know there are shopping guides all over the internet with lists and lists of the hottest toys, accessories and items – just waiting on you to purchase. We know, we know. So, we decided to put together a different type of list – one more specific to our area – good old B’ham!
1. Gift basket from Big Sky Bakery
The breads – to die for. The cookies – you have died and are in heaven. Treat your sweeties to this treat for a big hit this year.
2. Personalized items from PaintedbyU
We love this place. Take the kids, have a seat and get to work. Your nearest and dearest will go ga-ga over hand-painted ornaments, tiles, plates…whatever!
3. Experience Birmingham gift certificates or memberships to our favorite local stomping grounds – McWane center, the zoo, 26, Cantina – share the places you enjoy with those you love the most!
4. For the kids – how about pre-paid trips to education classes at the zoo or McWane or even prep-paid tuition to a local dance or karate class.
5. Don’t forget the concert and show series that happen all year – check out the schedule for the Alabama Theatre, Workplay, The Alys Stephens Center or the Birmingham Broadway Series!
6. Chocalate treats from Crave Chocolatiers. Enough said.
7. Nascar Stockcar Racing Experience at Talladega National Speedway. Shake and Bake Baby!
8. Local wine from Morgan Creek Vineyards – you really can’t go wrong with this, right?
9. A terrerium from Colliers Nursery. I received one last year as a gift and it was one of my favorite gifts for sure. If I managed to keep it alive, anyone can!
10. A gift card to Sips n Strokes! Who wouldn’t have fun doing that?
