The gift giving season reigns year round on the Outer Banks, and it’s a good thing too. The shops on the beach have diverse and distinct products that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else, making them perfect Outer Banks gifts for all of the important people in your life. Galleries allow you to find beautiful paintings, sculptures, pottery and blown glass created by local artists. You can check out bookstores which have arrays of books written by popular authors as well as locals. Try designing jewelry for an accessory that’s truly singular. For beach-y fun gifts, visit surf shops and kite stores to find colorful and custom made kites or flags. Scout out local markets for handmade soaps and candles. Boutiques sell chic clothes and jewelry with a coastal twist to them. Many shops also sell nautical décor that puts a little bit of the Outer Banks in a home or office. The possibilities of Outer Banks gifts are vast and often hold true to their beach roots. Read through the below listing to learn where would be best to get a gift for that upcoming birthday.
