It's such a fun time of year! The joy that's possible through the act of giving is something very special - it's a signal of gratitude and appreciation for another person. Giving may be even more exciting than receiving!

IN THIS ISSUE, we're inspiring you with a few simple gifts from the kitchen that you can give and enjoy throughout the holiday season. Doable in an evening, each gift will have your special handmade touch. You'll find Peppermint Bark, Cranberry-Eggnog Tea Loaves, and Magic Mocha Mix. Add ribbons and bows, and enjoy the sharing and giving! PLUS! Free printable gift tags!

Here we are, smack dab in the middle of the holiday shopping season! We're glad you all came in to see us on Red Bag/Small Business Saturday! THANKS for your part in keeping Milford a thriving, charming little village!

As you think about holiday gifts, consider one of our classes coming up in January or February. Many are filled, but some still have a little room. What a fun gift for the foodie in your life! Buy two spots and go along!

As you'll see below, our mini Le Creuset class is full but we still wanted everyone to get in on the fun. So, search your cupboards, your basement, your garage, or your storage unit to find the UGLIEST COOKING VESSEL you can come up with. Turn it in to our Le Creuset rep, Trish Ranallo, between noon and 2 pm on DECEMBER 11th for 10% off any piece of Le Creuset! We've got some gorgeous pieces just waiting to brighten your kitchen and make cooking a breeze! While you're there, enjoy a taste of some Thai soup that Trish will demo in the store. She'll be glad to answer any questions you have regarding their fabulous cookware!

As always, call the store at 248-684-1373 if you have any questions.
