Give to our Barrel Drive and Get Yourself a Little Something for the Holidays

Holiday Greetings from all of us at Timeless Treasures!

For the next week or so, we are collecting toiletries for homeless people in the Bay Area. When you contribute unused soap, shampoo and shaving cream to our Barrel Drive, we will give you 25% off your purchase of any of our vintage ornaments, wreathes and holiday-scented candles.

So bag up your stash of hotel toiletries and support Working Essentials, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to eliminating one of the main barriers to employment for the homeless. (Of course, we welcome donations of unused regular-size toiletries too.)

Working Essentials provides personal care items and vouchers for haircuts to help homeless people look more presentable and feel more confident, greatly enhancing their ability to get and keep a job.

As you help out this worthy local cause, you can add holiday glamour to your home. Choose from gold and silver garlands, old-fashioned tabletop trees and fir- and pine-scented candles from Bluewick, Seda France and Madisyn Taylor, all at 25% off when you contribute to our Barrel Drive.

In addition to our regular store hours, we will be Open this Sunday, December 17th, from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. It's a perfect time to follow Hayley's Holiday Shopping Rule. . . everyone is entitled to buy one gift for themselves. (Seems fair to us!)
