A 2020 Holiday Gift Guide for Island-Loving Souls

October 29, 2020

If you’re like us, you might be thinking, “The holidays?! How is it time for that already?”


Time has moved in strange ways this year and if the earlier months are any indication, the holidays will be upon us before we know it. And because so many of us will be spending the celebratory season at a distance from our loved ones, we need to remember to incorporate ample time for shipping into the equation.


With that in mind, we decided to release our holiday gift guide early, to give you the ability to get all of your holidays gifts to your beloved recipients in time.

This year, we launched our online store after many requests to make our most popular gift shop items available for shipping. We’ve been so appreciative of all the support and enthusiasm from you all. It’s been fun to continue to add items to the shop based on demand and receive all of your positive messages. Seeing pictures of you enjoying your purchases is one of our favorite things!

This has been a challenging year in the tourism industry. Your purchases will not only make fun, tropical gifts for the island-lovers in your life, they’ll also help to continue to support our island team until more of you are able to return to the VI to see us. We deeply appreciate any support you can give us!


We’ll also happily gift wrap any items you like before we ship them, too.


Happy shopping!
