TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | DEC 2017 9
your shaking limbs and veer straight and slightly to the right to Inferno.
Everyone has that person on their list that is a hot sauce nut. Inferno
is where to go. From there, just steps away is Island Gypsies, Shell
Art, Tipsy Mermaid and Swizzle and Shake. Do not forget to stop by
Latitude 32. Quality gifts and clothing apparel that everyone on your
list will love. Especially the clothes. Most all of these shops ship and
each shop offers a different variety of just fun Tybee style art and décor.
You are going to find something for even the most difficult person on
your list. Although, whenever I go to The Shops at Tybee Oaks, I end up
buying stuff for myself and then celebrating my finds by getting soused
at Huc a Poos. You do not have to follow my example, just my advice.
Although, this is not a case of don’t do as I do, do as I say. I say do as I
do and enjoy the hell out of every moment!
You are going to call Catie’s Confections for a
personalized cake then go to Caldwell Cottages to have a personalized
monogram shirt that will show your love. Both of the CC’s can handle
all of this for you. Give these girls an iota of who the gift is for and they
will handle it. While you are at Caldwell Cottages (located in Tybee
Corner) stop by The Tourist Trap! They offer a variety of different items
and artwork that you can actually watch come together. Just down
from The Tourist Trap is Edie at Coastal Massage and Wellness and
we all know that nothing says love like a back massage! While you are
there, go one more door down and visit Maranda at The Pinky Nail. A
manicure and a pedicure is on everyone’s wish list and it is a no fail for
any man or woman on your list. Next door to Maranda is Sea Strands
Salon, where you can get your hair done while you contemplate how to
avoid the rest of your relatives and the fruitcake that is surely headed
your way.
Captain Mike’s Dolphin Tours is an excellent
Having been on this tour, I can vouch
for how much family friendly fun it is. Not only is it informative, but
you get to see dolphins!!! Such happy creatures! Clearly, they don’t do
Christmas.
I know it sounds like an
oddball idea, but Conditioned Air has gift certificates. Might seem silly
in December, but summer is right around the corner and someone’s air
is gonna go out … guaranteed! Be that human anomaly that foresees
the future and call Larry Kennedy at Conditioned Air to prep for summer.
Come on. It’s not like summer isn’t going to happen!
I know
that is a lotta bit off of most everyone’s scale, but why not? We have
the best realtors in all of the land at our fingertips! Shell Solomon with
Century 21 Realty, Kecia Adams with McLeRoy Realty, and Brenda
Key with Key Coastal Properties are the top in their field. If you want
to buy but just can’t get there, you can always remodel what you have
by calling Hammerhead Home Innovations. Your old home could
become your new one. While you’re remodeling, call Rudy of Rudy
Paints to get your new springs colors on!
Another oddball idea for Christmas cheer is to call Palm Coast.
It can be your gift to yourself. Palm Coast is running a great deal right
now on trimming your yard trees and getting your home ready for
whatever it needs to be ready for!
Dizzy
Dean’s. It literally has everything I need to have a splendid Christmas.
Oh, I was writing about gifts for others … whatever. You can get stuff
for others at Dizzy’s too. In fact, get a gift for me. Carrie and Edith know
what I want.
One 4 Style. They make custom
rugs, décor and super cool screen doors. It sounds strange, but I’m
telling you everyone on Tybee needs one of these screen doors! It truly
is a one-of-a-kind piece of art!
Tybee Post Theater!
You can get an engraved brick or granite in your loved one’s name or
your name or your dog’s name. I am down with that and if anyone out
there is feeling all mushy towards me, feel free to give me that!
Tybee Teeth.
I know. The dentist is really the last thing you think of when figuring
out your list, but its Dr. Smith and she and her staff are family. So,
technically you need to start thinking about it. If all else fails, just go in
and schedule your cleaning for January. Excellent way to kick off your
New Year’s Resolution program!
. Call Stephen
Palmer Weddings for a special discount happening now and get
started on the next best part of your life. Speaking of the best part of
your life, nothing makes better sense than to photograph this time in
your life with your family or significant other. Wen McNally is the go
to lady of photography and makes you look better than you actually
do. Not only does she photograph weddings, but any and all special
occasions and events.
All is not lost yet if you are still dickering around for what to get the
hard-to-buy items for anybody on your list:
Retro Coastal Décor and Lisa Lisa’s
Gift Closet Both shops offer a variety of clothes,
furnishings and decorative items for any home – whether it be coastal
or inland.
That’s all I have kids. If you haven’t gotten any ideas from this list,
you are beyond help! Contact Georgia Regional and have them take you
away! The moral of the story is Shop Local and have a terrific holiday
full of holiday cheer and good spirits! A toast to one and all!!
On a side note: That photo shoot was so much fun!!! Thank you to
one and all for showing up and putting on your Santa Hat!! A huge shout
out to everyone! Especially Officers Tyler Griesbach and Jessica
Wright for stopping traffic so Wen could climb up on that ladder! Great
moment right there! Tybee is something else and we should be so
happy we are here together at this time.
Merry Christmas!!
