Whether you’re shopping for the ultimate party host, your favorite homebody, or someone in between, there’s a gift for everyone.

Party host 🎉

Be the life of the party by gifting uniquely scented candles from Wixology Candle Company, syrups from Portland Soda Works, or cocktail glasses by AlanaKay Art.

Homebody ☕

If you’re shopping for someone who prefers to stay at home, make them feel cozy with a mug reppin’ their favorite city (and make sure it’s filled with Methodical Coffee or tea from Matcha Nude).

Influencer 🛍️

Dress the influencer in your life with bracelets and necklaces from M+H Beads, earrings from Eleven + Jane and AlanaKay Art, or buttoned printed shirts by Block + Ink. Finish the look with a wristlet or messenger bag by Carry Courage.

Adventure seeker 🏕️

Adventurers can relax in outdoor chairs from Trippy Outdoor, keep their brews cold with Kanga Coolers, and catch a big one with fishing supplies from Toadfish. To fully equip them to explore the great outdoors, add a Jack Foster hat + Rheos floating sunglasses.

Community

The area surrounded by Broadway, Bardstown Road + Baxter and Winter Avenues is now officially the Original Highlands. Louisvillian Jimmy Soto spearheaded the naming project in effort to make an official Highlands neighborhood since “the Highlands” is used to reference several communities, like Cherokee Triangle, Tyler Park, and more. (WDRB)

Asked

Speaking of Thanksgiving, no turkey day meal is complete without pumpkin pie — homemade or store bought. So, in the spirit of a tasty debate, we want to know which local baker is baking up the best pumpkin pie in Derby City. Give us a slice. 🥧

Seasonal

Where do you think you’re going to put a tree that big? Jefferson Square Park, of course. Thanks to a local family in the Parkway Village neighborhood, a 35-ft-tall Norway spruce was donated to be the centerpiece of the annual Light up Louisville event on Friday, Nov. 25. (WHAS11)
