Any last minute shoppers out there (cough cough, me…) There’s no shame in saving shopping until the last minute, I’ve found some of the best gifts when Christmas was just around the corner! I thought it might be helpful to do a round up of local shops in Fairfield County, as most shipping deadlines have now passed to arrive by Christmas (excluding Amazon Prime, obviously).
TERRAIN
Terrain in Westport is probably your best bet to find a unique and thoughtful gift for your stylish friend or loved one. Full of items for the home, garden and wellness, literally anything you pick will likely be received with glee. Personally, I love their selection of candles and pre-made succulent gardens. While you’re there, pickup a coffee to fuel your shopping!

MAGIC BEANS
For all things toys, this is the perfect local spot to pick up any last minute gifts for the littles, or mamma-to-be. Full to the the brim with baby essentials and fun toys for newborns through tweens (I’ve also been known to be fully entertained in their store, too!)

SALTWATER
Colorful totes, water bottles and jewelry— perfect gifts for the hostess! Major bonus: this is a mom-led company of two local women, which is just the type of business I love supporting! They also host fun art events (currently they have a Sip & Paint scheduled for January 25th), which is where I made my favorite Garden Drive tote bag!
