Be Nifty and Gifty and The Downtown Metuchen Nifty Gifty Saturday Event!

Everything sparkles in Downtown Metuchen during the holiday season. They have over 130 shops and restaurants, many of which will be offering special deals to finish your holiday shopping during Nifty Gifty Saturday on December 22nd from 10am to 10pm.

A Nifty Gifty Guide has been created to help you find the perfect gift at one of Metuchen’s downtown businesses. This is available to view online at downtownmetuchen.org and on their Facebook and Instagram pages (search for “Metuchen Downtown Alliance”). This project was a joint effort of Alliance volunteers and students from Metuchen High School.
