Today on DelmarvaLife:

Christmas is one week from today. If you still have shopping to do, DelmarvaLife is here to help. You’ll find trend-forward styles at Vernon Powell in Salisbury. 102.5 WBOC’s Corey Phoebus stops by to show us some great gift ideas for the hip loved ones on your list this holiday season. They’re gifts that are warm, waterproof, comfy, cozy, and won’t break the bank!

The Bavarian Bakery & Deli in Dover takes authenticity to the next level. It’s your destination for tasty cookies, decadent cakes, breads, and everything in between. DelmarvaLife’s Sydney Whitfield stops by to see what it takes to pump out so much goodness.

Beef jerky is that familiar snack you’re guaranteed to find at any convenience store. Now, it’s the main product for sale at a store on Delmarva. We’re talking about the Beef Jerky Outlet in Rehoboth Beach. It’s a shop stocked wall-to-wall with all sorts of jerky, from beef, turkey, bison, alligator, and everything in between. Corey stops by to get a taste for himself. He even crunches on some crickets while he’s there!

No matter what stage of life you may be in, it’s probably safe to say that staying healthy is important to you. A big part of that is staying active, but that’s not just about exercise. Studies show that even doing a hobby you love can reduce stress and lower your risk of mental illness. The team at Hermitage Eastern Shore, in Onancock, understand this. DelmarvaLife’s Sydney Whitfield stops by the Hermitage to learn how its activities program is redefining active lifestyles.

Some video games require critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Believe it or not, the premise of some video games has been turned into an adventurous real-life night, out of the house. It’s called an escape room. DelmarvaLife’s Lisa Bryant visits Puzzle Over This Escape Rooms in Berlin, to see how it works.
