Holiday shopping is in full swing! Chances are there are still a few folks on your gift list.
Holiday, birthday or any other occasion gift giving can be fun for the person receiving the gift and for the gift giver. Nothing beats the expression on someone’s face when they open a gift you thoughtfully picked for them.
There is no better place to find thoughtful gifts than at the many amazing shops on Cape Cod. Most shops these days have an online presence, but if you are close enough (hello to our visitors in Boston, Western Mass and just beyond!) and can steal away for a day of shopping and lunch, why not do so before time runs out?
Our Cape Cod Insiders have put together a list of some of their favorite shops right here on Cape Cod!
You’ll find wonderful jewelry, clothing, home decor, books, toys and of course, everything and anything Cape Cod.
Wellfleet Marine: This eclectic shop not only has sweet gifts for the home, jewelry, bags and more, it also carries some of the most fun and interesting local art and small works you’ll find including lobster rope wreaths and wooden buoy lamps. Insider tip: there is a fish market on site when you are shopping for dinner ingredients during your Wellfleet vacation. Wellfleet Marine, 25 Holbrook Ave, Wellfleet.
Harvest of Barnstable: Did somebody say wreath? Harvest is known for their beautiful custom wreathes and floral arrangements. You’ll also find home decor, candles, bath and body products and the cutest little octopus nightlight. Harvest of Barnstable, 89 Willow Street, Yarmouth Port.
Sativa: Sativa has everything from books and candles to puzzles and balms. They have Gurglepots and plushies, too. Sativa, 517 Route 28, Harwich Port, If you love Sativa, you will love her sister store, Solis.
