The hottest Christmas toy nationwide might be a fake hamster, but Bluffton's hottest Christmas item is the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce card deck.
The deck features 52 Bluffton businesses and was created and donated to the chamber as a fundraiser by PromoHits!, owned by Melinda Bowden.
Each deck sells for only $5 each. The card decks are available at the following locations: Greg's Pharmacy, Common Grounds, The Sports Warehouse, The Dough Hook, BFR, Family True Value Hardware, The Curling Iron and the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center.
Additional outlets may be added. In case you are wondering what cards to play, here's a directory of the players:
