Tis' The Season To Shop Parma Heights

Instead of anticipating a package in the mail, which might not even get here on time, let's head to Pearl Road in Parma Heights and shop small this holiday. We've got you covered with these holiday gift ideas. Discover an assortment of local shops and boutiques, along with places to stop and get a bite to eat. There's something for everyone on your shopping list.

Your choice to support small businesses matters. Shopping at local businesses not only helps their owners but an entire community. Small businesses use their purchasing power in neighborhoods and boost local tax revenue. A thriving small business means better-funded schools, more money for roads, more chances for other businesses, and a healthier community. With the holiday spirit in mind, and obviously a love for shopping local, here’s where to shop small in Parma Heights for the holidays:

Samosky's Home Bakery, 6379 Pearl Road.  Don't feel like baking but still want to serve something homemade? A holiday cookie platter just isn't the same without a few cheerful gingerbread people. While almost too cute too eat, their ginger, cinnamon, and molasses flavors make it hard to stop nibbling. And their Christmas cookies will satisfy all your holiday-cookie-decorating wants and needs. Always buy two dozen: one to share and one to keep for yourself.

Thee Tree House, 6269 Pearl Road,  Share the magic of the universe with astrological gifts this holiday season. Find something to match their sun, moon or rising sign. Spiritual gifts for women & men, incense burner and wall hangers, Reiki gifts, positive energy candles, and meditation room spiritual decor. 

Hair & Stuff 216, 6277 Pearl Rd D, Discover a world of possibilities for your hair with their collection of women's wigs, extensions, and hairpieces. They also have affordable leg warmers, winter hats, and the best earmuffs and ear warmers to keep you cozy this winter. 

Village Cards & Gifts  6643 Pearl Road, curates a selection of greeting cards, stationery, indoor Christmas decorations, and other assorted gifts for him and her. The store carries Lemon Lavender Spa Products which include Heated Neck Wraps, Shower Steamers, Aloe Infused Hydrating Socks, Bye Bye Bed Head Satin Pillow cases, Hot & Cold Eye Masks, Hot & Cold Spa Pillows, & more! Perfect Stocking stuffers, for all those you want to pamper! This is where to go for a unique gift for the hard-to-shop-for person on your list. From clothes to accessories to jewelry, Ty products and inspirational items, you can find a ton here. I especially love its selection of humorous gifts, like greeting cards and silly Christmas socks by Two Left Feet.

Gamers Haven,  6639 Pearl Road, is a store where you can take the family and have as much fun hanging in the store as you will playing with board games you can buy there. They have hundreds of engaging board games with stunning art and innovating gameplay. Whether someone is into the classic board games or the newer editions, odds are they’ll appreciate a board-game-themed gift (or just being gifted a board game!). This store stocks everything from games for the younger crowd and classics from my childhood to trendy Pokemon cards. 

Heidy's Nail Supply,  6625 Pearl Road. If you're craving a design that's festive and interesting with a reindeer or snowman, you've come to the right place. Heidy is here to guide you through Christmas nail designs that are elegant and restrained. The store has all types of nail art designs that will make your Christmas season so exciting. The designs contain iconic Christmas related objects, items, colors, and even Christmas cartoon characters. 

Mistyfied Hair Salon, 6653 Pearl Road, offers haircuts & modern styling as well as nail care, makeup & special-occasion services.  Mistyfied Hair Salon takes the time to listen to you and takes the time out to listen to what you want. They make every trip a pleasurable and relaxing experience.

168 Optical is located at 6315 Pearl Road on the 2nd floor, Ste #206 in Parma Heights. At 168 Optical, frames start at just $38 and carry a line called Twelve84. And get ready for Christmas fashion with stylish eyeglass cases like the Christmas Story, or National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Eyeglass Cases. A great Christmas present or just for festive fun.

'Tis the season for gifts, treats, movies, and more: Christmas is the season of giving, indulging, and treating yourself and loved ones. Here's hoping you'll find everything you need locally for your jolliest Christmas yet. Now it’s your turn to tell me. Where are you shopping local this season?
