We’ve done the legwork and found the perfect gifts from some of our favorite businesses in Litchfield County. There’s really no need to deal with mall crowds – enjoy shopping locally, get great service, and find unique gifts! Don’t forget, most of these stores will ship. Happy shopping!
Nutmeg Olive Oil – Such a great gift that would appeal to so many. You have the edible factor, the pretty presentation factor, and the life’s little luxuries factor all covered with a custom made basket from Nutmeg Olive Oil. Give Maureen your budget and she’ll help you come up with just the right basket. They carry a varied selection of additional items to compliment the best olive oils and vinegar you can buy. They’ll even ship for you. Great idea for corporate, host or hostess gifts! New Milford. 860-354-7300
Robertson Jewelers – Some beautiful bling for your beloved? Yes, please! Patricia Locke is a gorgeous line that Robertson’s is currently carrying. Like giving her a piece of modern art to wear around her neck, these very affordable gems are unique, timeless, and will be a big hit! New Milford. 860-354-5365
Les Beaux Vous Salon and Day Spa – If we could tag our husband and fiancé in a post we would. Yes Forrest and Michael, if you’re reading this post, this will be under the tree this Christmas! Les Beaux Vous has a few gift packages to choose from, just stop in or give them a call. This package deal consists of a full set of Novalashes, signature blowout, spa ritual manicure and a bunch of goodies to take home. Thoughtful, what she wants, and already wrapped! Torrington. 860-489-1748
The White Horse – A Country Pub and Restaurant – Do good while doing your gift shopping. The White Horse Restaurant and Pub comes up with a new Christmas ornament every year. Made in Litchfield County at Woodbury Pewter, 100% of the proceeds are donated to the Connecticut Food Bank. Each ornament represents a 60-meal donation. How about attaching one to a gift certificate to the White Horse? Double gift giving points for you! Marbledale. 860-868-1496
Housatonic River Outfitters – For the fisher/outdoorsy people in your life, or the person who likes experiences/activity gifts, this is a great one. Stop in to purchase all the fishing paraphernalia you can imagine, or how about a gift certificate to go on a snowshoeing tour this winter? Or give them something to look forward to, a fly fishing lesson/guided trip for next spring. They ship, so give them a call! Cornwall Bridge. 860-672-1010
La Petite Stationer – One of those unique gifts that anyone would be tickled to receive – it’s useful and kind of genius! The Secrid wallet is made and designed in Holland. It stylishly stores your credit cards while keeping them secure from baddies! Press a button and your credit cards pop up staggered, allowing you to easily grab the one you want! Great gift, La Petite Stationer! Washington Depot. 860-619-0800
Swank on Bank – For the stylish female on your list, buy anything in here. They have super cute clothes that you won’t find in the mall, as well as fabulous jewelry, scarves, and accessories. Lyn and co. will be happy to help you find attractive apparel to suit that special someone, and your budget. New Milford. 860-354-9900
Nordica Toys – We absolutely love this wooden Advent calendar by Byers’ Choice, which Marie tells us is such a hot seller at her toy store. A little cubbyhole for each day in December leading up to Christmas – fill with toys or candy and use it year after year. Good for anyone with kids, or could be pretty good for adults too. Get creative with what you put in there and perhaps start a new holiday tradition in your family! Also makes a great baby shower gift! New Milford. 866-870-2630
Elizabeth Richard – Another fabulous custom idea. Say it on a pillow! These Marshes Fields and Hills pillows are hand-painted in the US and can be shipped directly to you or the recipient. Choose your pillow style, fabric color, font, and say what you want! You can also pick up ready-made and ready-to-wrap in the store. Give them something that’ll make them smile and make them comfortable! Woodbury. 203-267-GIFT(4438)
