Vermonters know a thing or two about giving. July’s historic flooding produced an equally historic response, with people showing up — and contributing generously — to help neighbors, strangers and businesses rebound. These carefully curated suggestions for gifts from Vermont makers and retailers will help you surprise and delight everyone from your babysitter to your BFF. There are plenty of items under $20, plus a few that make an extra impact for worthy causes.
Some things change, but others stay the same — namely, the Seven Daysies’ mission to shine a light on what’s great about our state. As cofounders Pamela Polston and Paula Routly wrote 20 years ago, “Thanks to the Seven Days readers who took the time to pick our first-ever Daysies. And thanks to all the great Vermont businesses, people, places and things that provide so many options. Without you, we have no flower power.” Read on for all the 2023 winners and finalists...
