Finally, if you’re in the neighborhood, make sure to stop by one of our favorite small businesses on your shopping trip. Liz Gutman and Jen King aren’t just the fabulous authors of The Liddabit Sweets Candy Cookbook, they are the entrepreneurial geniuses behind the Brooklyn-based small business by the same name.
