Something for Everyone
…Including the Animals
Retailers love the Christmas season, and Sidecar For Pigs Peace is no different. In fact, Sidecar is even more dependent on YOU during the holidays, as this is the only time of year we can dedicate funds to a "cushion" for unexpected expenses, which is critical to the store's survival. So, to help you help the animals, here is a list of ideas that can keep you out of the mall, and keep your dollars going to a better cause.
It's not too late, and if you are doing some last minute purchases we'll help you out by extending our hours!
We're open:
Saturday and Sunday 10 am - 9 pm
Monday 10 am to 6 pm.
And since we've all seen the uninspiring "gifts for her" lists in newspaper circulars, with scarf/mitten/hat sets, you might find our slightly more unusual shopping guide useful - maybe you'll recognize one of your trickier recipients below…
