Island locals rely on the gift store at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum throughout the year to find premier gifts. Prompted by demand from out-of-town visitors, the museum has now launched an online store – just in time for the Holidays.
The Museum store offers a beautiful selection of items for the whole family at every price point. Exquisite jewelry, art, glassware, wooden serving pieces, fragrant soaps and diffusers, Christmas ornaments, children’s toys and games, and books on seashells and marine life remain shoppers’ favorites.
This year, the National Shell Museum is proud to support Museum Store Sunday on Nov. 28. During this special 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. after-hours event, the Museum will be offering free gift wrapping and 20 percent off store-wide (fine jewelry excluded). Guests can shop like a VIP and complete their holiday shopping with the help of the museum’s shopping consultants during this one-stop shopping extravaganza.
The Museum store is open daily, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; admission not required. All sales benefit the Museum’s Educational Foundation.
