What? You didn’t realize the holidays were here already? Well, let duPont REGISTRY Tampa Bay be the first to wish you a season that’s merry and bright with this year’s Holiday Issue — soon to be arriving in a mailbox near you, and available in our digital edition right now.

It’s full of great gift ideas — including suggestions for where to Walk & Shop (if you’d rather not Drive & Drive); one-of-a-kind selections from local museums and galleries; the ultimate in gift boxes; and a few money-is-no-object surprises for when you care to spend the very best. (Like, for instance, a Lexus yacht; as Eartha Kitt sang to her Santa Baby, it’s really not a lot.)

Read about a memorable brunch, dress up in holiday style, and enjoy the first in our Benefactors series, highlighting the region’s most thoughtful philanthropists. See if your pic made the party pages, and check out our picks for the season’s Best Bets in arts and entertainment.

We don’t have snow to get us in the spirit (I know, what a shame, right?), so here’s hoping the shiny pages of dRTB will give you a head start. Enjoy!
