The holidays aren’t that far off, and gift giving seems to never end. Those who live off Island but love to come and visit sometime each year always seem to enjoy an item that is emblazoned with Martha’s Vineyard or is from an icon connected to the Island itself. With our numerous tee-shirt and souvenir stores, most with some amazing sales currently going on, it’s easy to fill your shopping bag with some of their goodies.
Such examples include Shirt Tales, Soft as a Grape, Ocean T-shirts, the Black Dog stores, Menemsha Blues, Beetlebung Clothing, and the Island Grown Initiative shirts available at Cronig’s among other stores.
New Years Resolutions could also be your stimulation for shopping the current sales: why wait ’til New Years to begin your resolution. An example is a frequent choice of living a more active lifestyle. Think about it, you are choosing to start being more active when it is the coldest outside. Why not start now by taking up a water sport that you can stay dry in this autumnal weather while getting in an enjoyable workout and seeing the Island at its colorful best. Kayaking could fit that bill and with Winds Up’s current sale on kayaks, paddleboards, accessories, and so much more, it could be a perfect fit for you. They are located on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven; for their most current hours call them directly at 508-693-4252.
Sales don’t last forever, nor does inventory. So the next time you see a sale sign, stop in to see how you might benefit. Happy shopping!
