Fear, not holiday shoppers, there are still a few more days left to gather up your gifts, and if you have some cooks on your list, there are a couple of places in town where you can even one-stop-shop. —Cassandra Anderton

President’s Choice
Sure, we shop at a lot of independently owned stores and support locally owned businesses, but sometimes convenience is just too hard to resist. President’s Choice has some great things in their Holiday Handbook, so grab a copy while you’re in the store.
