Elsewhere on page: Alyssa Sieb, Renee Comet, Zack Glenn of Equip Productions, Fielding Vaughn, and Mel Caitlin.) It’s that time – our 2023 holiday gift guide is here! Earlier this fall, we put out a call to women business owners who make gifts that foster connection between friends, family and other loved ones – and wow, they responded. We received a record-breaking 133 applications from entrepreneurs who told us about the thoughtful, fun products and services that perform the oh-so-critical work of bringing people together. Perhaps not surprisingly, many gifts in our "Coming Together" guide will bring givers and recipients to the dinner table – from wine, to coffee dust, to hot sauce, to placemats. But there are crafty selections, too, as well as several fun games and lovely bits of decor. Our staff sampled the lot to make sure each item was durable and easy-to-use. (And yes, we made sure the wine and treats were yummy, too – you're welcome.) Below, take a journey with us, starting with a pour and ending with a nightcap – and imagine the fun, flavorful time you can have enjoying these treats with loved ones. Happy Holidays!
