The Weekend Guide

xmas tree!

Time for someone’s heart to grow three sizes.

GIVE
Toys for Tots
What: Play Secret Santa and donate a little dough to help pay for books, toys, and gifts for infants, kids, and teens in need.
Why: There’s still time to make the nice list.
Where: Online at toysfortots.org.

SNACK
Derry Church Artisan Chocolates
What:
Scrumptious, city-inspired bonbons that are made by hand in small batches and taste like a trip around the world.
Why: Flavor combos such as chipotle white chocolate (Oaxaca), pumpkin caramel (Plymouth), buttercream with strawberry jam (Paris), bock beer (Berlin), and date and balsamic vinegar (Cairo).
Where: Online at derrychurchartisanchocolates.com.

DRINK
The Best Bottles to Give
What: You’re on your way to another holiday party — empty-handed. Stop. Drop some cash. And roll in with a nice gift of wine, rum, whiskey, or cognac. You’ll be everyone’s best-loved guest.
Why: It’s as easy as flashing your ID.
Where: Online at dailycandy.com.

LOUNGE
Mulmul’s Precious and Jewels Lines

What: Our favorite all-white underthings, sleepwear, and nighties ($85-$385) now come in richer fabrics with subtle embellishments.
Why: There’s a dainty apron with deep pockets — which you’ll need should you fall for the classically beautiful and simple necklaces, rings, and bangles ($300-$1,800).
Where: Online at shopmulmulstore.com.

DANGLE
Coumon

What: Parsons student Julie Robinson’s poufy knotted necklaces and headbands ($45-$75) made from vintage kimono silk are, despite their name, uncommonly awesome.
Why: The name stands for “center of the universe middle of nowhere,” to describe how Robinson feels about moving to the big city. Cheer her up and buy a piece.

DRESS UP
Goldy + Mac

What: The Broolyn go-to for well-priced separates, understated party dresses, cozy knit scarves, and ethnic-inspired jewelry launches e-commerce.
