HEADS UP: December has rolled around again and you are shaking in your shoes. What to get Aunt? And those other hard-to-shop-for-persons on your list? Never fear, the elves at The Wright Wreport are here! As is customary, until 24 Dec., we will introduce products, items and brands that we believe are worthy of consideration as a holiday gift(s). Happy, responsible shopping!

IN
case you didn’t notice, flowers are in!

From Andy Warhol to Gucci embroidered and painted handbags and accessories, to the prints at Zara. They seem to be everywhere.

The display window at Judie's Bungalow provides a glimpse of some of its unique wares.

If hats are your thing, then a trip to Cold Spring, New York (about 60 miles from midtown New York City via NY-9A) is well worth it. Judie’s Bungalow, a house of handcrafted accessories has an assortment of one-of-a-kind berets with wool-felted flowers that are just so girly and incredible artisanal in this age of massive scale. Take note, this old-school boutique does not have a website, Facebook page or Twitter feed.

I fell in love and bought two; one for me and one for … me? So hard to gift this. At $40 each, they are a deal and bound to make your day brighter.

Who said a flower a day?

One-of-a-kind hats and berets are a specialty of Judie's Bungalow.

Judie’s Bungalow is at 90 Main St. Cold Spring, NY 10516. Telephone: 845-265-1032.
