The holiday season is already sneaking up on us. Stay ahead of the game by getting some of your shopping done now, rather than waiting until the last minute. Head over to Old Town Spring, the historic heart of our city, and check out some of these shops for your holiday gifts.

Celtic Odyssey Emporium

This is the perfect place to shop for not only your friends of Celtic heritage, but those who love cosplay or are into new age spirituality. You’ll find beautiful clothing and accessories perfect for a summer renaissance fair, as well as items like axes and knives decorated with beautiful Celtic designs like the triquetra. You’ll also find perfect gift ideas like soaps, ceremonial items, and home décor.

Cheese and Chocolate Queens

This new shop is filled with culinary delights that will be perfect for the foodies on your list. Their cookies and wine will make perfect gifts – you’ll definitely want to pick up a box of their macaroons. And be sure to grab one of their cakes (you can find gluten-free and sugar-free varieties), or a charcuterie board for your holiday parties and hostess gifts.

Connie’s Bath Shack

You’ll find dozens of soaps in this fun bath and body shop that will be perfect for those on your list who need to be pampered, or who just love to collect delicious-smelling beauty products. Check out their Bay Rum Oatmeal, Chamomile with Aloe, and Honey and Vanilla soaps.

And check out their collection of lotions, scrubs, shampoos, and bath salts.

Cutter’s Canyon, Inc.

This shop is a great place to start if you only have a little time for gift shopping – you’ll probably find something for nearly everyone on your list here.
