Collectors Antique Mall
The history of South Carolina is a long and rich one that has evolved with our nation and a visit to the Collectors Antique Mall in Beaufort may offer a peek into the past that will become your newest obsession. On any given day, guests can expect to find the tidbits of times long past, including furniture (ask about their shipping policies if you find a big piece you just can’t pass by!) military pieces, knick knacks, even clothing that can be fun to revamp and wear today.
Mermaid’s Chandelier
Tucked away in a modest shop not far from Collectors Antique Mall, the blue sign with lime green mermaid holding a black chandelier intrigued us enough to pay it a visit, and the everchanging selection of cool wares brings us back time and time again. Stop in the Mermaid’s Chandelier for unique items.
Barefoot Bubbas
If you don’t visit at least one souvenir shop during your travels, can you really say you have been there? Every home needs another magnet for its refrigerator, every beach goer needs a puka shell anklet, and all dads deserve a baseball hat loudly proclaiming the virtues of life in Beaufort, and all of these things and more can be found at Barefoot Bubbas. The name gives us a giggle and the products they sell definitely represent life at the beach, making them ideal gifts for friends who may be taking care of the home front while you are living it up on Fripp Island!
Bathe
Women are addicted to smelling pretty and having soft skin and the money they spend on bath items are all the proof you need, but if you are tired of the same 7 scents being recycled on a yearly basis (you know what shop we are talking about) Bathe in Beaufort is destined to become your new obsession. Offering a large variety of handmade bath pretties, they also offer a selection of all natural bug repellants that can come in handy during a South Carolina summer vacation.
Rossignol’s
Although you will greatly enjoy your time in Barefoot Bubbas, we are sure you will equally enjoy a visit to Rossignol’s, a gift shop selling an elevated selection of trinkets that will make wonderful souvenirs.
