24-gifts-p-is-for-pierogi

Let us not forget the littlest Pittsburghers on the list of the 24 Gifts of Pittsburgh.

In keeping with the theme, P is for…

  • Printed in Pittsburgh by Garbella
  • Perfect accessory holiday pierogi eating
  • Purchase online or pick one up at one of these stores

Not only do I get to share some of the most Pittsburgh presents around, but this list of the 24 Gifts of Pittsburgh is giving me the perfect excuse to share events to some of the most perfect Pittsburgh places around. I have known Amy who runs Garbella for a few years now, definitely make a stop at the Garbella Open Studio on Friday to shop and support a great cause.

Donate Socks, Save 20% on Gifts from Garbella

Garbella-sock-driveTo help you wrap up (holiday pun intended) your last minute shopping, Garbella is hosting an Open Studio Holiday Sale this Friday from 2-5pm. Stop by and donate some socks for Operation Safety Net.

This year, we’re hosting a sock drive for the homeless. Foot care is a very important health issue for the homeless as they typically spend a lot of time on their feet. Fresh, clean socks can help prevent foot infections and provide some extra comfort to area homeless. I’m asking you to help, but I’ll also be offering discounts in exchange for socks and will be matching sock donations for every item sold.

All socks will be distributed directly to homeless through Operation Safety Net.

Shop: You can purchase the P is for Pierogi bib from the Garbella website or Etsy shop.

24 Gifts of Pittsburgh: Pineapple Plate with a Purpose

ihp-24-gifts-pineapple

There are so many beautiful items to choose from on the Riverside Design Group website, but I selected this Pineapple Plate because pineapple is a symbol of hospitality. I have gotten picky about what makes a good gift. It needs to be something useful and something beautiful, and a gift from Riverside Design Group does both. Even better, 15% of the purchase of this plate is donated to Family House, a Pittsburgh non-profit that provides housing and hospitality for family members who have a loved one in the hospital. There are several other plate designs, each design benefits a different Pittsburgh non-profit.
