When the Rogers County United Way started the Holiday Boutique in 2008, one of the first boutiques to sign on was Claremore's own J&J Pharmacy. For the sixth year in a row, they will return with all sorts of holiday gift-giving treasures.
Shopping at J&J makes me as happy as if the Bluebird of Happiness landed on my shoulder. If you've never been there, you're missing one of the best-kept secrets in Claremore. The name is deceiving. Yes, it is a pharmacy...in the back. But in the front...oh, in the front, are the best gifts in the world.
It's a treasure trove of cookbooks, Vera Bradley totes, serving pieces, Tyler candles, hand soaps and lotions, collegiate items from OU and OSU, home decor, and so much more.
I've heard that the crew of J&J will be bringing back the ever-popular Santa figurines and the little elves that are perfect for decorating trees and mantels at the holidays.
Mark your calendars now for the Rogers County United Way Holiday Boutique...November 13, 14, and 15, 2014 at the RSU Centennial Center Ballroom. Thursday, November 13 is the Exclusive Pre-Shopping Extravaganza, where there will be food, wine, and an opportunity to shop the boutique before it opens to the general public on Friday morning. Tickets are $25 and available from the Rogers County United Way, (918) 343-1165.
