With 2019 right around the corner, it’s time to plan for New Year’s Eve festivities. Dinners by celebrated chefs, dance parties, beer and wine tastings, as well as many other events will welcome 2019. Look no further than our top picks for ways to celebrate.

’Tis the season to be satisfied by giving. Show your friends and family that you appreciate them with gifts that supports local business. Whether you’re picking out something at a local shop or treating your friend to the flexibility of a gift card, you’ll find exactly what you need at these local businesses.

The holiday season has become a commercial bonanza in which billions of dollars are spent on gifts and billions are added to our credit card debt tab. But that’s not what it’s really all about, and there’s no reason to feel pressured into spending more than you can afford. Because if your holiday budget isn’t as big as you’d like, there are plenty of presents you can give that cost absolutely nothing or close to it.
