This Holiday Season, as we do every year, we like to celebrate all the unique gifts that bring smiles to faces and makes it very easy to bring joy to many people! Here are some of our suggestions, thought we’d have difficulty coming up with a Top 10 of sorts….once we got started, it was incredibly difficult to stop!
Shop local, support local!
1) Rossignol Surf Shop
For the Surfer, or want to be surfer, Jeff Norman has boards, suits, winter mitts and boots, winter wax, leashes and more available from the Shop - think I even saw some skateboard gear too! All are great Xmas ideas.
Want to pick something up, or check into it, give them a call at 902 683 2530 evenings or by email at ross.surf@ns.sympatico.ca .
2) Snug Harbour Book Store/ Gourmet Shop
Lane’s Privateer Inn has a fabulous collection of Atlantic Canadian books and a Gourmet Shop bursting with gift ideas. Check out their website here – again, to be appreciated, you have to visit! http://www.lanesprivateerinn.com/lanes-snug.html
3) Ocean Spa – temporary location
Give the gift of relaxation and pampering…a massage! Our Massage Therapists who have been displaced since our fire, are in the process of setting up a temporary Spa at Lane’s Privateer Inn. More details are coming, but Kristine, Dorthea and the others are looking forward to seeing bookings from some old friends and new ones in 2012.
4) Moss Pot
Ann Langille, the mastermind behind some amazing creations has a fabulous shop filled with decor items and suggestions for the holiday season, check out her Blog here, but to truly appreciate the Moss Pot, you must visit the shop on Main Street in Liverpool! http://themosspot-liverpoolns.blogspot.com/
