Last Minute Gift Ideas

We know we’re only 10 days out from the big day, but some of us are still trying to find the perfect gift for that special someone. And guess what? You are more than likely to find it right in your neighborhood — and bonus — you’ll be supporting our small businesses! A win-win! The businesses in Stonington Borough are wonderfully eclectic and sure to have what you’re looking for. Even our non-profits have great gifts — visit them in person or online for branded merchandise, books, calendars, apparel, and more. Check out some of our ideas below. If you click on the images, it will take you to the merchant’s website or social media page.

Be sure to visit The Velvet Mill too (22 Bayview Avenue). The Mill is full of unique shops, artist studios, health and wellness businesses, and fantastic food and drink options. They also host the farmer’s market every Saturday.

If you’re looking for gift certificates, our restaurants are a great place to start. Zest Fresh Pastry, Water Street Café, Noah’s Restaurant, Milagro Café, Indulge Coffee & Sandwich Co., Dog Watch Café, and Breakwater Stonington Harbor all have gift cards available.
