‘Tis the season for celebration and here at Stimuli we have so many things to be joyful about: family, friends, colleagues, clients and our new publisher, Mike Wilson. He’s stepped into his role with gusto – check out his gift ideas for the man in your life with our new feature, Mens’ Obsessions (pg. 31).

When our wetcoast westcoast weather is frightful, there’s nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. We know you’re going to want to make Linda’s “A Twist of Tomato” recipe (pg. 26).

And let’s not forget about the reason Stimuli started… our Editor’s Obsessions. Christa took the reigns on this issue’s list of must-haves (pg. 6). If you’re looking to deck the mantel (and maybe the hall too) this season, we’re showing you how one mantel can have three very different looks (pg. 20).

So curl up under a cozy blanket on the counch while you make your holiday shopping list straight from the pages of Stimuli.
