Your Ultimate Guide to Local Shopping in Fernandina Beach and Nocatee
As Florida’s “cold” weather sets in, we gather family and friends to celebrate the holiday season. You may have blinked and realized the holidays are here, but no worries, there is still plenty of time to get the perfect gift for all the special people in your life—regardless of if they’ve been naughty or nice. Amidst food and festivities, don’t forget to check your (shopping) list twice!
If you are looking to get some holiday shopping in while visiting or if you call northeast Florida home, there are plenty of local shops to choose from. Fernandina Beach and Nocatee are just two quaint towns where locally-made gifts await.
Why shop local? There are lots of benefits to shopping locally, starting with investing in your community. You can create local jobs, better the environment by reducing pollution and carbon footprints. Not to mention, locally made items are much more likely to be sustainably sourced than what you’ll find online or at big box stores. These are just a couple of reasons to shop local outside of convenience and finding thoughtful gifts.
Who knows, you might just find a treasure or two of your own to go under the tree this year. Don’t forget to fuel up for a busy day of shopping by stopping by your local Timoti’s for some wild caught seafood.
