Last-Minute Online Shopping for Holiday Season 2018

The Best Gifts for Your Fur Babies from Purrfect Play

Authentic Swiss Cowbells from Alpen Schatz

Fresh Soap Company Holiday Goods

Time to throw down the gauntlet on wrapping up your online shopping. This weekend is the deadline (OK, some say early next week) for placing orders for Christmas delivery. So let’s get ‘er done!

Extra Delicious Yumminess from Ruth’s Toffee

Champagne and Chocolates from Henri’s Reserve

I’ve updated my Online Shopping page to include a few new purveyors that I think you’ll enjoy. In addition to my perennial favorites, which include Ruth’s Toffee, Henri’s Reserve Champagne, Alpen Schatz alpine treasures, autographs and collectibles from The Autograph Source, the best toys and more for cats and dogs from Purrfect Play and handmade soaps and other gift items from Fresh Soap Company, I’ve added a few more that should help you to complete your holiday shopping in a unique manner. (As much as I love Amazon’s one-click ordering, there’s nothing like finding a treasure in a charming online boutique.) Plus, all of my featured shops offer Bonjour Colorado readers a 10% discount.

Yosemite Map Art by John Petach

Push Pin World Gallery Map

A couple of them hold true to the map theme that has become my life this past year. (I freelance for Discovery Map International where I have all kinds of fun writing up their exciting destinations and more for their ever burgeoning website.) For lots of map-oriented gifting, check out my story Navigating Online Map Gifts at Discovery Map. On my Online Shopping page, I highlight Push Pin Travel Maps and travel-inspired art by John Petach. Not only do they both offer great gift ideas for passionate travelers but they are also kindly extending a 10% discount to my readers. Love and travel make the world go round, n’est-ce pas?

Mt. Hood Snowmelt Notecards by Roy Steele

I’ve also added nature-inspired notecards by artist Roy Steele. Roy and I have known each other and worked together for years. It’s wonderful to see him applying his creative talent to generating more awareness about the environment and our changing world.

Bowie Memorabilia from The Autograph Source

Fix yourself a cup of tea or pour ye a glass of wine and take a few minutes to read about my specially curated collection of boutiques on my Online Shopping page. Note that some, such as Push Pin Travel Maps, say that today is the last day for ordering, however, they told me it’s actually Sunday. There’s a bit of play in the deadlines for most. But best not to push your luck too much.

Here’s wishing you happy holiday shopping!
