The Holiday season is in full swing and by now most of us are making a list and checking it twice. Trying to find that perfect, unique gift for everyone can take some time and often feels challenging. While we recently published our 2017 Holiday Gift Guide, showing how to support and shop local on the South Shore, I know that a large percentage of my readers are from HRM… thanks Google analytics(!)…and may also be looking for those special local gifts in their area. You’re in luck…Maryann’s Gifts is here to help!
Maryann’s Gifts, located in Cole Harbour, Dartmouth, has been in business for 24 years and Maryann herself has been hand selecting the products they carry during that time. Locally made home decor, jewellery, kitchen items, linens and more, fill the inside of the shop…and their online store…to help you make your house a home or choose the perfect gift. At Maryann’s…every gift tells a story.
Looking through Maryann’s online shop…with my tea and a cozy blanket…was so fun! I found inspiration and ideas for lots of people on my list. Feeling short on time? I thought it might be helpful if I shared my list of local stocking stuffer ideas from Maryann’s, although I highly suggest you stop into her lovely shop the next time you’re in Cole Harbour. Or grab your own cozy blanket and shop from home. 🙂
