The holidays aren’t just right around the corner, they’re officially here. Hanukkah is underway and Christmas is coming. With all of the busyness of the holidays, its easy to let a couple of things slip through the cracks. Maybe you accidentally overlooked a certain family member on the gift-giving list, or you’re worn out from your day’s events and don’t want to brave the crazy hustle and bustle of going shopping during this busy week.
That’s why we’ve compiled some great gift options for everyone – and you don’t even have to leave the island! All of these items are easily accessible on Anna Maria, and by shopping locally for your holiday gifts you’re helping support a local small business! Win/win.
For the Beach Bum – Head to The Surf Shop for a new swimsuit, hat, or surf accessory.
For The Stylish – Head to a local boutique like The Sanddollar or Island Cabana. With beautiful fashions for all ages and styles, and unique home decor – our local boutiques are a surefire hit for the stylish ones on your list.
For the Local- You can never go wrong with a gift-certificates to a local restaurant. Maybe one of their favorites or a new place they’ve been wanting to try!
For the Kids – Souvenir shops like Island Bazaar have plenty of cool toys and trinkets for kids of all ages. Everything from a painted pet hermit crab, to sand toys, to a classic kite.
For The Go-Getter – Coffee beans, a gift card and a mug from a local coffee shop.
