It’s December 24, the day before Christmas. I must say that I’ve had a lot of fun exploring the city with Katie Krawczyk this month. My only regret is that there were not more days to feature shops that we talked about covering and never got the chance to do so. When thinking about the business that I would feature today, with only a few hours remaining until the 25th, I figured that I would choose a place that I knew would have a couple of killer post-holiday items. That means, when you go to redeem your Walmart presents (that your great aunt in Kentucky sent you) for cash, there are a couple more fun gifts waiting for you just around the corner… at Clutch on Elmwood.
Best Seller:
Who can resist an awesome Buffalo t-shirt? Gone are the days when there were just a couple of styles floating about with silhouettes of a buffalos in the foreground. Check out these Born in Buffalo t-shirts. Obviously the one on the left is a bit more risque, but there are those people out there who like to flaunt our city in ways that others wouldn’t feel comfortable. You just have to love the six inch carrot protruding from the nose of the snowman. How on earth do these guys come up with this stuff? Then there’s the ‘God Save The Queen City’ shirt on the right. Once again, a very clever Sex Pistols reference that’s used to promote Buffalo’s cool factor. If only these shirts came in long sleeve! The t-shirts featured here are double-sided (Born in Buffalo on the back) and sell for $24.
Clutch Pick:
Who can resist a sock monkey knit hat? Or even better, a three-eyed monster knot hat? Unfortunately the best seller, the abominable snowman, already sold out. That’s what you get for waiting until the day before Christmas. But there are still some stylish abominable snowman gloves in stock… but today we’re talking about hats. For $32 you can take your pick from myriad characters – there’s even an Ernie… or is that Bert? Either way, you’re sure to have a hot gift on your hands… or, your head I should say, when you pick up one of these adorable toques.

You’ve been shopping too long. Your mind can’t focus and visions of sugar plumbs are starting to drive you nuts. It’s times like this when you just need to relax. And what better way to relax than with a margarita in hand? Thankfully Sole is open and you can get your fix, along with some scrumptious guacamole and chips served table-side. Need I say more?
