holiday gift guide

November 08, 2019

Aren’t we lucky, having all the resources of the Hudson Valley laid before us like a banquet as we consider each loved one and what would make them gasp with delight this holiday season. Is there anything more fun than finding and giving “that” gift, something that fits the recipient to their very soul? We think not. And we think that our brilliant community of makers and service providers has just what you need to win at the glorious art of giving in this, and every, season. And, don’t forget, many of these establishments and eateries will gladly sell you a gift certificate to be used at your loved one’s discretion.
