FYI Philly

Annual Holiday Gift Guide Special

Monday, December 11, 2017

This weekend on FYI Philly, it's our annual holiday gift guide episode. We head to outdoor markets in the city and the suburbs to find some locally made products. Then take a tour of two distilleries using historic buildings for their craft spirits. Plus, festive decorating tips, low-priced presents and, if bling is your thing, we've got you covered. It's an FYI for you Saturday at 7 p.m., Sunday at 1p and Sunday night at midnight.

There's plenty of gifts for you to find at Christmas Village.
