That’s why we’re here to share the top things we’re excited about in the coming week in each installment of “The Weekly.” Each week, we’ll rant and rave unabashedly about just a slice of the food, fun, and fantastic items that we’re currently obsessed with in downtown Providence, RI.

HOST GIFT IDEAS FOR THANKSGIVING FROM PVD SMALL BUSINESSES
How is Thanksgiving somehow next week!? November 25 has simply crept up on us. Whether you’re traveling far away, hosting friends and family, or headed right around the corner, we have put together some host gift ideas.
From cocktail mixers, to beautiful ceramic dishes, we’ve selected items from small businesses located in downtown Providence, RI. Each items is great to gift or even to treat yourself! (We are especially tempted by the beautiful wooden cheese boards from Craftland). And if you’re thinking ahead, these are great ideas for any other seasonal festivities you’ll be attending.
HOLIDAY FASHION: THIS DOWNTOWN VINTAGE SHOP HAS PUT TOGETHER THANKSGIVING FITS
While Thanksgiving is so often about being together with loved ones and breaking (delicious) bread together, sometimes we think it’s also an excellent opportunity to showcase some new looks! This year, if you’re unsure what to wear, The Vault Collective on Westminster Street has put together a few ideas…
Check out this reel from a recent restock—with Thanksgiving in mind—and directly message The Vault to inquire about each unique piece. From sweaters to accessories, we love to see classic and vintage items styled to give them a second, beautiful life!

The event takes place from 6-8 pm and will feature Whalers Rise, Whalers Muse, and Whalers Piesces, plus free samples and the chance to meet brewery reps. Cheers, PVD!
