Looking for creative ways to fill those stockings hung with care? Go no further than downtown Danvers, where the local offerings are unique and plentiful. Here are just a few ideas of what can be found, right in the square:

Pie On A Stick! Check out Cakes For Occasions for these bite-sized treats. The delectable desserts are individually wrapped and come in apple, blueberry and cherry. Buy two and get one free to top off those over-stuffed stockings. As Kelly Delaney says, "Everything tastes better on a stick!"

Lotions and Potions and Creams-Oh My! With a huge selection of trial sized beauty products, Partridge Tree Gift Shop is the place to go for the ladies in your life. Lotions, lip balms, creams, bath salts and designer soaps with Christmas themes, all under $5.00, are sure to please.

Beanie Balls! An extention of the Beabie Baby craze, these are one of the hottest selling items at Green Elephant Toy Store this holiday season. These colorful characters are stocking-stuffer-sized. The yellow and black bumblebee, pink piglet and yellow gerbil are just a few of the adorable, bean filled creatures your kids can cuddle with who will always land on their feet. Collect them all!

Pocket Book Hangers! This should be on every woman’s list this year. Any lady who's ever had to store her high-priced bag on the floor, or on the table in a restaurant, knows the pain. These nifty little hooks are small enough to fit inside the smallest clutch, include a flip up mirror for lipstick-checking, and will easily hang from any table or bar-top. Can be found at Partridge Tree Gift Shop.

Gift Certificates! Give the gift of a stocking-sized mental vacation. Kids from 1-100 will appreciate being able to treat themselves after the holidays. Check out Cigars R Us right next to Goodies downtown, where Frank will write up an “old Fashioned” gift certificate for that cigar aficionado in your life. There are so many great nail salons, spa’s and restaurants in the newly invigorated Danvers Square.
