Find everything from sweets to massage treats that will make your holidays brighter.

Shop Local at These Unique Jersey Shore Shops


Give the gift of food this holiday season. At Suzi’s Sweet Shop (1100 Highway 35, Middletown 732-796-0115), there are plenty of specials that you will get you off on a very sweet note.
