he odd, the amusing, and the novel all are among the inexpensive gift ideas for that certain secret gift receiver.
Give a message Say what you really mean in sarcastic eloquence with vintagestyle signs for the home or office. Need something for “that” coworker? “Hey, I found your nose. It was up in my business.” Or, share philosophy: “Lord, give me coffee to change the things I can change and wine to accept the things I can’t.” The signs are hanging at Ambrosia on the Square in The Villages.
Take it easy Christmas in the Sunshine State is a little different, and these tree ornaments reflect beach life and retirement living: Santa reclining in a lounge chair outside the Surf Shop, or Villagers hitting the links in their favorite T-shirt attire. A variety of offbeat ornaments can be found at the Purple Pig in The Villages.
