Shopping Intelligence: A Mother's Day Gift Guide
Birdhouses made from recycled materials at Hedstrom & Judd in Hudson
What a pleasure to spend a day shopping for a gift and never to set foot in a mall or chain store! Thanks to the clever retailers in our region, it’s fun and easy to buy locally. We visited 20 shops and found something for every budget and every type of mom. Bonus: no shipping required.

Parties: Foodies Unite in Great BarringtonSome two dozen regional restaurants, caterers, bakers and wine shops donated a buffet feast for Monday night’s MayFest benefit for Construct Inc, which provides homeless prevention and supportive housing services for people with low to moderate incomes in the Southern Berkshires. |
Shopping: The Fishman ComethThe Berkshires may be far from the nearest ocean, but we still have access to the freshest fish, thanks to Matt Rubiner. Order off his e-mailed roster of options by Wednesday, pick up your order (or have it delivered!) on Friday afternoon, while it’s still redolent of the sea. |
