Give the gift of making the
holiday season a little eas-
ier. Lysa Goodman Poore,
owner of and designer for
Demby+Solomon Fine
Printed Goods in West
Bloomfield, has added big,
brightly colored and beautiful
gift stickers (left) to her line of
paper products. Not only are
they great to keep on hand to
add some personalized style to
gift boxes and bags, but "the
stickers make a fun gift item
for all the 'under $25' people
on your holiday list, such as
teachers and babysitters,"
says Poore. And at less than
$1 each, the colorful stickers,
personalized with your child's
name, are more cost effective
than store-bought cards for
the multitudes of birthday par-
ties they attend year 'round.
Choose from 30 styles; avail-
able in sets of 24 for $22
or 48 for $44. (248) 872-8337;

HOLIDAY SHOPPER'S HEAVEN

East-siders are thrilled with Clinton Township's just-opened (in October) Mall at Partridge Creek, the first new regional

shopping center built in Macomb County in more than 30 years. The lushly landscaped open-air structure will warm win-

tertime shoppers with heated sidewalks and a 30-foot-tall stone fireplace surrounded by park benches and rocking chairs, a

children's play area and bocce ball courts. And there's shopping, too! Anchored by Parisian and Nordstrom (to open in April

2008), the mall offers about 90 stores and restaurants, including H&M, Coach, Godiva and P.F. Chang's China Bistro.

Michigan firsts include Calvin Klein and Sur La Table (left), whose thousands of kitchenware products from vendors

around the world range from basic bottle stoppers and biscuit cutters to classic Revol porcelain to beautifully handcrafted

European cook's tools — and whose CEO, Kathy Tierney, has created a charitable partnership with Gleaners Community

Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan. (586) 416-3839; shoppartridgecreek.com
