GREAT LOCAL HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS IN RHODE ISLAND

​As we enter December, the holiday season is in full swing around us! From Christmas carols on the radio, to decorations in stores, and sales upon sales being advertised, there is no escaping the holiday spirit! While many people prefer to shop online, holiday shopping is a great opportunity to support local, small businesses. Here are some of our favorite local businesses and unique gift ideas for this holiday season!

Looking for great stocking stuffers or gifts for friends on your list? Get everything from hair products, beauty products, or gift certificates for hair service at St. Germain Studio in Providence. They carry boutique hair products, and have a long list of services for both men and women. Shop the salon or book online at stgermainstudio.com 

A night out to the movies is something people of all ages can enjoy. A movie gift  certificate to see the newest flick would be a hit among anyone on your Christmas list. Wrap it up in a DIY movie basket with some popcorn, candy, and soda and let your gift recipient pick the movie. Check out your local theatre for gift options.

Buying for those “hard to shop for” people on your list? Flaunt Boutique should be your next stop. From clothing, to jewelry, to gourmet goodies, Flaunt Boutique has it all! They offer name brand accessories, trinkets from local vendors, and even gifts for your furry, four-legged friend! Hours and contact information at Flauntri.com

This winter, give the gift of sun-kissed skin from Glistening Goddess. With three convenient locations, the gift of a perfect Caribbean glow is one stop away. Recipients can make an appointment for a decadent spray tan, or utilize the teeth whitening services. Visit their website for a list of locations, or send an E-Gift card! Glisteninggoddess.com

A unique gift for those on your list is a gift certificate for a local catering company. Pranzi Catering, located in Providence, offers a dining experience unique to your event, for a meal at any time of day. Use their services to send a decadent dinner or holiday cookie tray. Even better, allow them to help with your holiday event. Find their information at www.Pranzi.com
