New Herald Holiday Market
They do say miracles happen on 34th Street...
A favorite Thanksgiving hotspot is already involved in the yuletide spirit with final preparations being made for the Herald Holiday Market inside Macy’s Herold Square store.
Known for creating numerous pop-up markets since 1972, Urbanspace Markets organized the new market project and is currently renting vender spaces located within the Mezzanine level, elevator banks and 9th floor Christmas trim level. Opening day is scheduled for Nov. 1 with only a month to go before the grand Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Good Friday shopping specials will then be here.
“We look forward to seeing you in this new and exciting holiday market, in one of NYC’s most sought
after holiday destinations,” said Evan Shelton, a team member from Urbanspace. With this announcement from Urbanspace, the brainchild behind these Christmas markets in NYC, they encourage eager shoppers to start mapping out their wishlist.
The market has been dubbed “the modern-day Miracle on 34th Street” and will include some of the city’s best artisans, chefs, and creators, right near the iconic Macy’s Herald Square. It’s too soon to name specifics, as the event is in the midst of taking applications, but we can already envision ourselves with a warm cup of cocoa at hand while perusing fun handmade goods and stocking up for December 25th.
Macy’s Herald Square is the flagship of Macy’s department store, as well as the Macy’s, Inc. corporate headquarters, on Herald Square in Manhattan, New York City. The Herald Holiday Market will remain open through Jan. 1.

The Art of Gifting Picking the Perfect Present
The psychology behind gift-giving is not simple, as it takes into account human emotions, personal and financial circumstances and sometimes, an objective we are hoping to achieve.
Gifts have been given since prehistoric times to forge alliances and help keep our friends and family alive and healthy. Though reasons differ slightly in our modern everyday lives, we still partake in gifting semi-regularly – in celebration, to mark religious events, to show appreciation and sometimes, simply, as a surprise action that gives us a dopamine hit.
Whether you’re already preparing for Christmas in July, have an upcoming birthday or ceremony to attend, or just see something that reminds you strongly of a loved one, here are some tips for earning a gold star in gifting and really picking out that perfect present – no matter who you’re gift giving to.
Tips for gifting the perfect present!
Choosing the perfect present for a loved one can be a delightful experience with a bit of thoughtfulness and consideration. Here are some tips to guide you:
Consider Their Interests
Reflect on what they enjoy doing in their free time or any hobbies they have. If they love cooking, a new cookbook or kitchen gadget might be perfect. If they enjoy reading, a bestselling book or a subscription to a book club could be great. Depending on your relationship with this individual, you may need to enlist some help from someone closer to them to help you score brownie points for getting them something they will definitely use.
Pay Attention to Their Needs
Listen for any hints of items they really need or have been meaning to buy. It could be something practical like a new bag for work or a cozy blanket for their couch. Under some circumstances, even though it’s a lot less fun, a gift card for something very specific might be the best and most thoughtful way you can meet their direct needs.
Personalize the Gift
Adding a personal touch can make a recipient feel extra special. Consider customizing the gift with their name, a meaningful quote, or something that reminds them of an experience the two of you shared. Most people use a coffee (or tea) cup but getting them something very unique to them will show a lot of care and effort being made on the side of the gift giver.
Think About Experiences
Sometimes the perfect present isn’t a tangible thing but experiences. Many folks are also choosing to stay home rather than go out in efforts to save money but can justify going out to do something fun if it’s a gift. Consider gifting them tickets to a concert, a cooking class, a helicopter tour, a live comedy show, the list goes on…
Quality Over Quantity
Instead of buying many small gifts, focus on one or two high-quality items that you know they’ll appreciate and use for a long time. It’s not how many gifts they unwrap, rather the effort put into each of the gifts they do unwrap. And the saying “it’s the thought that counts” goes an awful long way when they’re unboxing the perfect present.
Consider Their Lifestyle: How do they live?
Consider the part of the city or town they reside, the type of housing they have, and their worklife balance or weekly schedule. If they lead a minimalist lifestyle, or are always on the go with gym classes, they might prefer experiences or consumables rather than a physical present you can check on every time you visit.
Ask for Suggestions
If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask them directly or subtly for gift ideas. You can also enlist the help of other members of your family or friend group. They might appreciate being involved in the process and ensuring they receive something they truly want, rather than something they’ll have to fake excitement for when they open, and immediately throw out after.
Don’t Forget Sentimentality
Gifts that hold sentimental value can be incredibly meaningful. Sentimentality will trump the monetary value of a gift almost every single time. Consider giving something that represents your relationship with them or triggers a happy nos-
talgic memory.
Don’t Stress Over Perfection
Remember that it’s the thought that counts the most. Even if the gift doesn’t feel like the perfect present, your loved one will likely appreciate the gesture and the thoughtful consideration you put into it. And if you put effort and care into the presentation by wrapping or bagging it nicely, it enhances the unwrapping experience.
In the end, the art of gifting lies not only in the gift itself but in the thoughtfulness behind it. By considering their interests, needs, and lifestyle, and perhaps adding a personal touch, you can create a gift that truly resonates with your loved one. Whether it’s a tangible item or a cherished experience, the joy of gift-giving comes from knowing you’ve made someone feel special and appreciated.

United States History
When early settlers came to America they often brought few material items, but they brought many customs, traditions, and music of their homeland here. These things, mainly the music took root in America’s soil and grew. The music of Native Americans, white settlers, and the Black enslaved people mingled to create new forms and songs from Delta blues and “hillbilly” music, to rock. My biggest question is does the music reflect the culture, or does the culture reflect the music?
