Grab a Gift
It’s creeping up on one of my favorite times of the year — Christmas shopping time. I just love finding items for friends and loved ones, wrapping them, seeing them revealed by the recipient and the resulting joy they bring.
In this month’s issue, we aim to help you do the same! Our Annual Holiday Gift Guide is one of our most popular features of the year for good reason. This year, it features 40 fantastic items for all ages found right here in Berks businesses. After all, shopping local is a gift, too. Flip to page 28 to get started on your holiday shopping list.
Also in this month’s issue, we explore kitchen décor trends for those of you that may be considering an upgrade to your home. Think color palettes, countertop materials, cabinet refinishing and more — for budgets big and more modest in size. Get started on your personalized plan on page 48.
With November being a prime time for entertaining, you may want to whip up the specialty cocktail featured in our Bar Stool section on page 11. Guests will surely love the Caramel Cider Kiss recipe from B2 Bistro + Bar in West Reading.
Finally, you’ll find our annual Little Black Book of Restaurants inside this issue. Hang onto it for a handy reference all year long. It’s a must-have for picking the perfect spot for a date night out or another special dining occasion.
