Shop 'Til You Drop: Last Minute Hamptons Gift Ideas
We urge East End shoppers to visit Sag Harbor Village this holiday season. As Main Street businesses work to recover from last week’s devastating fire, your good wishes and cheer bring hope and welcome fellowship.
Gift recipients can’t see a discount, but you can feel it in your pocketbook, which rests on your “bottom line.” The Old Town Arts & Crafts Guild in Cutchogue is hosting a special 20% discount sale on all items in the Guild beginning December 26 through 31. There will be something for everyone and all are invited to this one-time event. The Guild is open during regular hours: Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information call 631-734-6382, ldtownarts.org or email oldtownguild@aol.com

For the catlady on your list who thinks she has everything, how about an all-wool, organic catnip kitty toy?

Available from Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor. Canio’s also has…wait for it…books! How about a signed first edition or a vintage cookbook?
