A Very Merry PQ Christmas

Posted by Columbo
December 25, 2011

Merry Christmas Penn Quarter!  Forget the malls and deck your hall with wines, wears, and whatnots from the streets of PQ.  You can build your own gift basket just like the Columbos with goods from all over Penn Quarter.  Our basket has some of our favorites from the neighborhood including:

  • A little something sexy and fun from Coup de Foudre
  • Bottle of Pol Roger Champagne from Central Liquor (they tell us this was served at the Royal Wedding, we haven’t looked it up because we want to believe this is true)
  • Bottle of Argyle sparkling wine from Zola Wine & Kitchen
  • Visconti fountain pen from Fahrney’s Pens (perfect for writing thank you notes)
  • Biscotti from Pitango Gelato (Santa asked us to leave these out instead of the usual cookies)
  • Pate and cheese from Cowgirl Creamery
  • Gift certificate for a post-holiday massage from Bliss Spa
  • Almond body oil from L’Occitane (no winter-dry skin in the Columbo house)
  • Dark hot chocolate on a stick from Le Pain Quotidien (this is the bakery we’ve been waiting for)
  • And flying above the basket, a remote controlled helicopter from Bed Bath & Beyond (our poor dog)
Happy Holidays!

Great choices! You could also add something from the Holiday Market and National Gallery of Art gift shop – they always have some beautifully creative options.

Nothing from PAUL or Tea from Teaism? And is that a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair or, perhaps, the Pavilion copy of it in the background?
