The holidays are meant to be spent with people you love, and the season is even better when you can check a few things off your shopping list at the same time. So Flamingo teamed up with some of our favorite partners to craft the perfect evening of food, drinks and gifts from J. McLaughlin.
On Dec. 11, more than 100 of our closest friends in Jacksonville came to sip cocktails by Carve Craft Vodka, munch on light bites from Ruth’s Chris Steak House, watch live painting from artist Alma Ramírez and shop from J. McLaughlin’s line of clothing and accessories, all in a stunning beachfront home. In true holiday spirit, a portion of the event’s sales benefited North Florida Land Trust, a nonprofit that preserves land for future generations. Can we do all of our shopping surrounded by friends and endless champagne?
