Specifically, Lucky Finn offers travel mugs and thermoses–perfect for your teacher or the avid coffee drinker in your life who is always on the go.
A walk down Front Street brings you to the Scituate Salt Cave, one of the most popular destinations in town. In addition to the indoor wellness center containing walls lined with Himalayan Salt, a wide variety of gift items are available, including a range of spa kits, hand creams, and bath bombs. However, the most popular gift for spa and meditation lovers is a gift card. Including a Salt Cave gift card in your Valentine’s Day card is the perfect way to spoil your mom or anyone else in your life who needs relaxation.
For any children in your life, the Seaside Mercantile has many options. Stuffed animals are always a safe bet, and the Douglas brand is a classic. The store features a tower of stuffed animals, along with gadgets and fidget toys for small gifts. If you’re looking to step away from tablets and screens and play games, the store offers board games for all ages. These look amazing on a coffee table and can be brought out on game night!
Just a few steps down the road, you will see a golden gift mine–the Welch Company, another Scituate staple. We saw Jelly Cat stuffed animals and key chains that would make great gifts. When shopping for teenagers, you might walk past these items, but they are very popular among students at Scituate High School, especially girls. Don’t be afraid to grab a stuffed animal for a teenager or a child in your life! Valentine’s Day jelly cats, like hot pink bunnies and beautiful flowers, are perfect for loved ones. These toys are timeless, and you can never go wrong with one.
If anyone you are shopping for is leaving for college, look into a sterling silver Lolla necklace, also available at Welch Company. With their nautical ties, Lolla’s jewelry provides a subtle reminder of home. On a jewelry note, the Enewton is a gold-filled, everyday piece loved by girls and women of all ages. With a stack of about 10 bracelets, the Welch Company offers an amazing selection.
Anyone in your life can use a cozy blanket, making the ChappyWrap a perfect Valentine’s gift. Although the blankets are a bit pricey, they are insanely soft–and they come in many patterns and sizes. Welch Company’s collection is impressive–whether you’re looking for a baby blanket or a full-size ChappyWrap.
For any family members, Scituate locals or not, a handmade cutting board with SCI, 1.4.3, or the Scituate Lighthouse design is perfect for anyone who wants to elevate their cutting board game. In addition, resin-cutting boards with waves make perfect gifts for family or friends!
The clothing boutique Out of the Blue also has shelves lined with gifting possibilities. Adorable Valentine’s Day pajama sets are perfect for any teenage girl. Stationery items are ideal for the organized person who loves planning their weeks and jotting down notes throughout the day. During the winter months, Scituate Harbor can get chilly, making Sea Salt Hand Creme for Swedish Dream a perfect gift for family and friends. Along with these exciting items, Out of the Blue is beginning to stock spring clothing, including gorgeous sandals and flowy dresses–ideal for anyone looking forward to warmer weather.
