Ya Jagoff!!! | One Glass Act

Summary

The jags were invited to make glass pumpkin gifts with Heather and Chris from the iconic Pittsburgh Glass Center while rubbing elbows, literally, with Monica, co-owner of love, Pittsburgh… who knows a thing or two about niche gifts. And don’t forget about gifting biscotti and lasagna thanks to Sprezzatura owner Jen’s sizzling cooking skills and antics. After all, it is the unofficial start to holiday shopping and we want to know how to gift!
