Believe it or not – Christmas is officially less than three weeks away. But please don’t panic (yet). There is still plenty of time left to knock those to-do’s off your holiday shopping list. And tonight might be a good time to start – that is, if you plan on heading in the direction of the North End after work.

That’s because tonight is the 7th Annual North End “Buon Natale” Holiday Shopping Stroll. The shopping stroll will include numerous boutiques throughout the North End including: Savas Studios, Sedurre, Shake the Tree, SOL OPTICS Sunglass Boutique, The Wine Bottega, Twilight, A Matter of FACE, ACQUIRE, Cocoanuts, Ensemble, Exhale Spa, Fairmont Battery Wharf, Heart & Sole, in?jean?ius, LIT Boutique, Luke Aaron, LuLu’s Sweet Shoppe, North Bennet Street School, and Officina 189.

Many of the boutiques, galleries and design studios will be offering light refreshments, treats and (of course) discounts. Although I recommend taking the T to the Boston’s little Italy, if you do insist on driving you’re in luck. There will be validated parking available at Parcel 7 Haymarket Garage.

Not only is the holiday stroll a great way to support local businesses, but you’re sure to find plenty of goodies at these shops and boutiques. Pick up a specialty food gift basket from Cocoanuts or shop the designer clothing that lines the walls of Shake the Tree.

So take advantage of tonight’s opportunity to pack all of your holiday shopping into a 4 hour span. The holiday stroll will continue from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. tonight. Just don’t forget to hashtag #northendholidaystroll as you make your way through the winding streets.
