Get Gifting at Berkshire Court’s Holiday Sip & Shop with Jewelry, Handbags, and Prizes


What’s not to love about a holiday Sip & Shop? A little wine. A little retail therapy. It’s the quintessential win-win.

Just ask Skibell Fine Jewelry owner Lyn Skibell. “We’ve all got holiday shopping to do. But why make it stressful? A Sip & Shop is a fun, festive alternative to spending your weekends in a crowded mall.”

A self-admitted fan of both sipping and shopping, Skibell rounded up her Berkshire Court neighbors at Preston and Northwest Hwy. to help host a joint seasonal soiree Dec. 11-13. The three-day extravaganza comes complete with innovative gift ideas, exceptional prizes, and a celebratory happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12.
