Home and garden items make heartfelt gifts this holiday season.

The holiday gifting season is upon us. Over the next five weeks, the Weekly will be bringing you our best ideas for shopping local this season. To kick things off, we’ve got a gift guide themed around the sanctuaries that are our homes (and gardens). You need not be a homebody to appreciate creating a beautiful, functional space. - Tajha Chappellet-Lanier
