Welcome to the 12th Annual Holiday Catalog

T

he holidays are about home. Celebrating the goodness of people and places you know.

Gifts We Love is designed to help you and local businesses this holiday season. In this year’s holiday catalog, we present the best gift ideas the Upstate has to offer. We have partnered with local businesses to bring these ideas to you early in the shopping season so that you can knock out your list, and shop local—it matters.

We have made it easy for you to find the perfect holiday gift. Simply look for the category that best fits your needs and browse the array of products.

Your local investment is a gift to our community. Not only will you support homegrown businesses and boost job growth, but the sales taxes will support our schools.

We are fortunate to have a variety of small businesses in our area that offer a wide selection of thoughtful gifts to fill the stockings of everyone on your list. Your patronage makes it possible for these retailers to continue to enhance the flavor of our community.

We are grateful to be publishing our twelfth-annual holiday catalog, and it is our advertisers that make this possible. Please return the thanks with your local purchase—because, really, there is no place like home.

FOR CHARITY

There’s hope. Live again.

“I woke up to a new day. I woke up to a new life. I began to stand up straight. I came alive.” – former Safe Harbor resident

We live in a beautiful state and a beautiful community. That’s why it’s surprising to hear that South Carolina ranks seventh in the nation for our homicide rate among females murdered by males, and Greenville County ranks second in the state in domestic violence incidences (with an average of almost 11 new victims identified each day).

This holiday season, please consider supporting Safe Harbor. We are a local organization dedicated to providing comprehensive domestic violence intervention and prevention services, including emergency shelter, counseling, advocacy and education. Your gift can provide hope and healing to those who need it most.

M111A

In 2010 Safe Harbor provided services to more than 1,100 local domestic violence victims.

You, your family, your office or your faith group can support the mission of Safe Harbor and make a difference today. For more information, visit www.safeharborsc.org. To make a gift or inquire about holiday giving opportunities, please contact Samantha Tucker at samantha.tucker@safeharborsc.org or 467-1177 x14.
