Every year about this time, somebody walks in our door on Main Street and says, "I want to get my Christmas shopping done close to home this year." We love hearing it. This year the Union Parish Chamber of Commerce is making it a little more fun, and a little more rewarding, with Christmas Shop U.P.
Quick answer
Christmas Shop U.P. runs Thursday through Saturday, November 12 to 14, 2026. Shop the stores listed on the Chamber's Shop U.P. Monopoly board, keep your receipts, and bring them to the Union Parish Chamber of Commerce office November 16 through 20. Each valid receipt is worth an entry into the gift certificate drawings. Forever And Always Boutique is taking part, so a stop at our store counts.
How Christmas Shop U.P. works
- Pick up or look for the Chamber's Shop U.P. Monopoly board of participating stores around Union Parish.
- Shop those stores November 12, 13 and 14.
- Hang on to every receipt.
- Take your receipts to the Chamber office between November 16 and 20.
- Each valid receipt is an entry into the gift certificate drawings.
For the full list of stores and the drawing rules, check with the Union Parish Chamber of Commerce at (318) 368-3947 or visit unionparishchamber.org.
Where to find us
Our store is at 114 N Main St, Suite B, in Farmerville. During Shop U.P. we are open all three days, Thursday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 6 PM. Questions? Call us at (318) 381-9449.
What to look for on our shelves
- Lake D'Arbonne caps and mugs for the fisherman, the camp owner, or the one who moved off and misses home. See our Lake D'Arbonne gear.
- Christian du rags and vest patches for the rider on your list. Du rags are a limited supply, so get them while they last. See Christmas gifts under $25.
- Christian gifts that carry a whole verse from the King James Bible, not three words and a reference.
Some of our shirts, including our Christmas Christian shirts, are printed to order and ship only, so they will not be on the shelf. You can order those online any time, and they ship in 5 to 10 business days. Shipping is a flat $10, and orders over $75 ship free.
Three businesses, one building
Forever And Always Boutique is a family business, and so are our neighbors down the hall. While you are on Main Street:
- Backroads WiFi in Suite C brings cellular internet to rural homes, lake camps, cabins and RVs, with no contracts, no satellite and no credit check. If your phone works at your place, the internet should too. It makes a good gift for the camp, too.
- The Lemoine Agency in Suite D offers life, disability and critical illness coverage you can apply for online in about 10 minutes. The end of the year is a good time to make sure the people who count on you are looked after.
Why shop at home
When you buy from a store in Union Parish, that money stays close. It pays the folks who run the store, it sponsors the ball teams and the church suppers, and it keeps the lights on along Main Street. Christmas Shop U.P. is a good excuse to see what is right here before you drive to Monroe or order from a warehouse a thousand miles away.
We hope to see you November 12 through 14. Merry Christmas from our family to yours.
