Charleston Gift Guide 2022: Our Favorite Local Shops
Find unique gifts and support small businesses this holiday season when you shop local boutiques. Whether you’re looking for books, jewelry, clothing, candles, distinctive home goods, or a certain special something - you’ll know it when you see it - these are some of our favorite Charleston businesses with incredible pieces you won’t find anywhere else.
Find your next favorite dress – or the perfect gift for the fashionista in your life – at Beau & Ro. They are known for their stunning variety of dresses and accessories, but also have excellent gifts! You’ll find distinctive cocktail napkins, ornaments, stationery, jewelry and - our favorite - hats!
Shopping for little ones this year? We love the beautiful toys and accessories from Bird + Block. Designed with love in Charleston and produced in Jaipur, India, you can find these gorgeous pieces beloved by kids and adults alike at Under the Almond Tree on King Street.
For the person who has everything, you can always send fresh flowers! Tiger Lily made the most incredible centerpiece for us last year, and we love gifting their bouquets for hostesses and more.
We love to support local bookshops, and Buxton Books is one of our favorite book nooks in Charleston. Located right next to the beautiful Library Society on King Street, you’ll find both used and new books in a cozy atmosphere. Find signed copies of books from local authors and blind-date-with-a-book options, as well as friendly local tips and reading recommendations. Make sure to stop by their holiday pop-up in Charleston Place.
Help set the perfect cozy mood this holiday season with a flickering gift from Candlefish. This boutique candle company offers a unique shopping experience: chat with their expert chandlers as you explore their library of distinctive fragrances to find the perfect scent for everyone on your list. You’ll find plenty of other delights here, too, from their Rewined candle collection, to adorable stationery and art prints, to accessories to care for your candles. Or gift a candle-making class to the creative person in your life, where they can create their own fragrance blends.
Find your family’s next heirloom at Croghan’s Jewel Box, a locally-owned shop housed in a gorgeous historic building on King Street. Whether you’re looking for unique ornaments, antique or estate jewelry, or a custom piece for someone special, Croghan’s will help you find the perfect glittering gift. We especially love their lowcountry-inspired Goldbug Collection!
Shop for luxurious home goods at The Boutique, where you’ll find top European brands for bed and bath linens, porcelain, silverware, decor, and more. Discover traditional Charleston gifts to share the Holy City with loved ones far away, or commission a custom artwork from their local artist-in-residence.
