Glass Ornament
The best and most meaningful ornaments are the ones that we’ve made ourselves. It is this reason that mom and dad still proudly hang the ones you made in grade school on the tree. This year craft your own glass blown ornament to give as a gift. The Perry Glass Studio offers glass blowing classes year-round, but during the holiday season, they conduct a special (our favorite) class to make ornaments. Norfolk’s love for glass art is very apparent, with over 10,000 pieces of glass on display at the Chrysler Museum of Art and even more glass pieces showcased at the Barry Art Museum. Pour a bit more love into your gift-giving and add to your mom and dad’s ornament collection by signing up for a glass-making course today!
Hamilton Perkins
Gift your loved ones with a bag that is not only stylish, but that is also making an impact on our world. From travel bags, totes, backpacks, cross body bags and more, Hamilton Perkins is making bags that are using recycled materials. These timeless editions are all made from plastic water bottles, pineapple leaf fiber, and billboard vinyl. This being said, no two bags are ever going to be the same. Hamilton Perkins is a local to Norfolk and his store can be found in the second floor of the MacArthur Center Mall.
