Hippo’s Gift Guide Find gift ideas throughout this week’s issue. Michael Witthaus suggests gifts for art-lovers (page 14) and music fans (page 33). Henry Homeyer offers a gift guide for gardeners (page 18). John Fladd suggests some gifts for those bringing the greenery indoors (page 20). John also makes some suggestions for foodies (page 26) and we round up some books by local authors that could make good gifts for bookworms (page 31).

Also on the cover Michael Witthaus also previews a market showing off the art of fine knives (page 13). John Fladd previews the Currier and Ives Cookie Tour (page 25). Michael also talks to the band Slim Volume ahead of their Saturday, Dec. 13, show at Pembroke City Limits (see page 32).
