One of our favorite boutiques, Scout3 in Laguna Beach (a haven for hard-to-find designers for men and women and chic gifts), is giving back to the community (and improving your wardrobe) with a food drive called "Cans for Clothes."

Simply donate two or more cans to Scout3's food drive and receive 10% off purchases through Sunday, Nov. 16. (Valid one use per customer up to $1,000 purchase.)

Needs for the Orange County Food Bank include protein dense foods such as canned beans, canned vegetables, and canned fruit; dry food items: lentils, rice, pasta, oatmeal; peanut butter and bottled water.

If you can't make it in, just visit Scout3's virtual drive here and scroll down to Scout3, and donate your dollars toward feeding hungry children in Orange County.

Scout3 just received a new shipment of must-have BGN silk dresses from Paris; QI cashmere sweater dresses; Ted Baker and Velvetmen clothing for men; and Converse by John Varvatos.

Scout3's gilded driftwood frames, Calypso candles, holiday greeting cards by Paper Flower Designs and Italian Match Pewter make great holiday gifts.

Open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. 1200 South Coast Hwy Suite 104-B (in the Old Pottery Place at South Coast Highway and Brooks Street) in Laguna Beach. 949.494.9407.
