Question of the day - where do you like to shop locally for the holidays?
The weekend is just about here, and we bet some of you will be out shopping for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Solstice gifts. Where do you like to buy gifts locally? Is there a shop you wish everyone knew about? Are you going shopping at a holiday market this weekend? We’d love to know – leave us a comment…

BTW, here are a couple of resources for your shopping this weekend, in case you’re stuck or need some inspiration:
How to be the coolest aunt or uncle: Hip kids’ gift and toy stores in Astoria, Corona, and Elmhurst [QNYC]
Queens Holiday Markets 2012 [QNYC]
holiday shopping depends on the wish list my kids and family members make. I am often successful at finding great items at the following stores. ( all located in Astoria)
