Here’s your guide to holiday shopping – and fun! – in the original Twin Port.


Thrifting and Antiquing

Check out downtown shops like Antiques on Belknap and Earth Exchange that are bursting with hidden treasures – from clothing and jewelry to memorabilia and vintage decor.
Shopping for a collector? Head to Globe News/Vinyl Cave right on the corner of Belknap and Tower. From gaming, sports cards, music, comic books, vinyl records and more, you’ll be sure to find the perfect gift for the aficionado in your life.

Curated by a mother and her daughters, they have everything from scented candles to fashionable clothing.

For bow hunter and archer gifts and accessories, head to Sportsmans Choice. Or, find wood-engraved gifts of lake maps, bays and golf courses, apparel and fishing guide maps at Sportsman’s Connection.
