Throw Your Own Holiday Shopping Party
Where: 1306 E. Pike Street

Parties can accommodate up to 12 people, and the cost of hosting is complimentary, but Knack gifts start at $25. Dial 206.557.4525 to book an appointment. There are a limited number of parties available (one per day) so book soon if interested. Kack gifts can also be created anytime on the comapny’s website.
