25th Annual Christmas Festival

by The Factory on 03. Nov, 2011 in Featured, Kids, Products

All you need is love... and gingerbread.

We know. Halloween just ended and here we go with a Christmas Festival. But, think about it. November in Boston is pretty cold and dreary, and while looking forward to stuffing yourself at Thanksgiving may be diverting, it isn’t all that much fun.

The annual Christmas Festival at the Seaport World Trade Center, November 4-6, on the other hand, is a LOT of fun. More than 300 artisan vendors showcase their wares, gourmet goodies are available to taste and buy, and you can shop for everything from decorations to stocking stuffers. The Gingerbread House competition is also always a marvel.

Make your list, check it twice and then immerse yourself in the holiday spirit.

Visit Boston Christmas Festival for info, plus a $2 off admission coupon.

Raise a Glass for Autism Awareness

by The Factory on 01. Apr, 2011 in Favorite Factories, Kids, Services

Tomorrow is World Autism Awareness Day, but hey, since it’s Friday, why not raise your awareness today, along with a tasty beverage.

Sophia’s Grotto in Roslindale is featuring a “Blue Spectrum” cocktail, of which $5 of every one sold, will help support a new autism play group at the West Roxbury YMCA. 

Autistic kids and their families can have a tough time finding a safe and welcoming place to play, but the new program at the Y gives them both space in a gym and time to swim every weekend.

Can’t make it to Sophia’s? You can always make your own special drink at home and while you’re at it, donate to Austism Speaks online.

And don’t worry, someone, somewhere, will be toasting you.
