Sometimes this season is challenging because I never know what to buy people for presents. As I started looking around, I realized we have amazing choices right here.
We have lobsters (red! perfect for Christmas). And Greenhead is great about taking care of last minute gifts.
We have so many book options! Blue Hill Books, for a bit of everything and lots signed by local authors; Red Gap Books, for the rarefied bibliophiles on your list; the Sleigh Bell Shoppe and Lobster Crate has a great selections of books but crafts and live lobsters as well!
We have wreathes (green! and made from local balsam and spruce or seashells).
Wine and good food from the Wine Shop, the Cave, and Seasons. (I think I've been good this year, Santa. Very good!)
What about some music? Paul Sullivan and Rosie Upton...,
the Bad Daddys Band..., or perhaps season tickets to Kneisel, Bagaduce, the Grand, or the Opera House?
You've heard me go on about jewelry--Handworks Gallery, the bead shop, the Turtle Gallery, Pyramid Studios...
Even furniture?!
And pottery from the Rackliffes.
A hooked rug?
And gift certificates fit everyone! We have very pretty ones for lodging or for dining. If you contact us directly, we can make every detail just what you, and the recipient, want!
With the help of those who attended the Winter Fest in Blue Hill and helped us get the town tree lit, the Blue Hill Inn was able to donate $300 to the Tree of Life Food Pantry. We had chestnuts roasting on an open fire, of course... The Food Pantry does an amazing job making food available to those in need.
While they appreciate food donations, they are a bit like a teenager in their preference for cold hard cash!
If you need other ideas for festive gift-giving, just let me know!
