This holiday season, you can give the gift of Queens — but you’ve gotta do it quickly. Just 50 limited-edition holiday gift boxes by Made in Queens, the Queens Economic Development Corp.’s marketing and certification program, are being sold this year, and they’re already live. Sweet and savory snacks, self-care essentials and exclusive Queens merchandise are just some of the goodies inside, and each item was made or designed in the borough. "There's no place like the World’s Most Delicious Borough for the holidays, and this box is the easiest way to share it," QEDC Executive Director Ben Guttmann said in a press release. The holiday gift boxes are $50 each. Once all 50 are sold, they will not be restocked.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Your neighbor saves a public parking spot with an orange cone. Do you move it?

Street parking is scarce after a snowstorm. Your neighbor spent an hour digging out the space in front of their home and now guards it with an orange cone, even though curb spaces legally belong to everyone. You arrive tired and the cone is blocking the only open spot.

Can effort create a personal claim to something public?
