Anythink’s annual Gifts from the Heart program returns this December to bring community together through creativity. Throughout the month, Anythink customers are invited to attend a number of programs to create one-of-a-kind gifts to share with friends and loved ones this holiday season. Each program is a fun opportunity to connect with other community members while celebrating the season of giving.
