I hate to mention the c word however (with no wish to scare anyone)… Christmas is coming. The twinkle of fairy lights, and the sight of brightly shining baubles will soon be here, and whilst we all love Christmas it can be scary how fast it seems to come around.
St Ives is a haven for Christmas shopping,
with its wide variety of boutique shops, bursting full of wonderful gifts and
delights, perfect for even the hardest person to shop for. Interspersed with
amazing coffee shops and cafes, ideal for refueling, during a long days
shopping.
Below I have listed some of my favorite
treats that I would recommend for Christmas presents, all with a St Ives
nautical theme…
Starting at Jo Downs on the corner of
Market Place, her beautiful glass selection of wish sticks, coasters, candle
holders, display dishes, and wall mounted plaques could be the unique present that
you are looking for with your loved one in mind, with simplistic yet effective
designs that can work well with many peoples interiors.
Moving along in to Fore Street, the Painted Bird sell a wide selection of beautiful bronzes, wonderful ceramics and
spectacular jewelry, we particularly like their Ahoy collection of glasses and
ceramics, perfect for reminding your favorite person of their last visit to St
Ives.
Delving deeper in to Fore Street on the
left you will then encounter Poppy Treffry’s boutique, filled with hand
stitched wonders, and printed masterpieces, their beside the sea theme has some
of the most beautiful breezy boat textile designs, created skillfully into
small coin purses up to medium sized tote handbags and everything in between. We are particularly partial
to the long legged oystercatcher design.
The Sail Lofts five star accommodation in
St Ives acts as a perfect base for all your shopping needs, allowing you to browse,
and consider your purchases as you hunt out your Christmas gift list, whilst
treating yourself along the way.
We have a range of luxury apartments
available in St Ives during November, that can be booked as week long stays, or
