An Elf’s Help
I figure that old Saint Nick likely needs a hand with gift giving. Just between you and me (and I haven’t told the kids this so I’d appreciate your keeping it on the down low) I have been helping the Old Fellow almost my entire life with getting gifts underneath Christmas trees and into Christmas stockings. It’s a big job. I think that if you asked Santa, he’d say that I am like one of his elves.
Now that I have laid my credentials out, I need to recruit as many of you as I can to help me help Santa. Will you join me in gathering gifts for others to make his load a little lighter this year? Children are easy to buy for… it’s the grownups who present the biggest challenge so let me offer a few suggestions for the hard-to-buy-for adults on your list.
Have you considered how perfectly half bottles of wine and spirits will fit into Christmas stockings? You know, there’d even still be room for accessories like corkscrews, wine stoppers, and pour spouts to go with the bottles. For friends with bigger boots, Santa says that Whatcom Wine & Spirits has got an array of beautiful gift packs to choose from. Available only at Christmas time, popular bottles of spirits are boxed together with bonus glassware or bar tools to make perfect presents. This makes it easy for you and Old Saint Nick. Whatcom Wine & Spirits also has the most unique, unequalled selection of wines available in the Chilliwack and Abbotsford areas. Santa has put me in charge of this because even he has heard of my Wine Guide reputation! I’ve travelled the province with a wine stem in hand finding all of the best wines to sell in this store. As for international wines, there are plenty of opportunities to taste and choose the best of the best which is what I do. The fun thing about private wine shops is that they are able to stock a lot of products that the government stores are not allowed to; roughly one third of the products at Whatcom Wine & Spirits are only available there.
Once you’ve selected that myriad of treasures to help Old Saint Nick you’ll need just a few more items. In the spirit of helpfulness, Whatcom Wine & Spirits has assembled plenty of pretty boxes and lovely gift bags, just so you can wrap it all up too.
