We are fortunate to have an abundance of small shops to frequent year-round and during the holidays! We asked our agents what their favorite stores to stop in for gifts are to prepare our Saturday plans. The recommendations were abundant!</p> <h3>Acton, MA</h3> <p>Handworks was suggested by <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/linda-vanemburgh/"> Linda VanEmburgh</a>. VanEmburgh said, "Handworks in Acton has the most distinctive, artistic gifts."</p> <h3>Concord, MA</h3> <p>"Favorite holiday small shop… hands down Nestings!" said <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/anna-travias/">Anna Travias</a>. A favorite of many, this name popped up with agents and staff alike!</p> <p>Revolutionary Concord was also a repeated recommendation, mentioned by owner, staff, relocation department, and our agent <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/nancy-wright/">Nancy Wright</a>.</p> <p>A new addition to the center of Concord, Graham was mentioned by <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/laurie-cadigan/"> Laurie Cadigan</a>.</p> <p>Sharing a good laugh, <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/laura-mckenna/"> Laura McKenna</a> mentioned Priscilla's Candy Store, my favorite local shop for holiday gifts, quality chocolate truffles packaged beautifully, and they make the most gorgeous chocolate Santa Claus. Just don't put them in the stockings when there's a fire! Did that!"</p> <h3>Lexington, MA</h3> <p><a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/bobbi-tornheim/"> Bobbi Tornheim</a> mentioned the Holiday Marketplace of LexArt. Tornheim said, "Over 150 local Artisans sell hand made crafts priced from $5 to $1,200. Jewelry, hand woven clothing items, wooden bowls and boxes, some furniture, some excellent children's toys and puzzles, painting, photography, note cards, wide range of ceramics, sweaters, etc. Much of the work is Gallery  Quality." Tornheim also mentioned the location, 130 Waltham Street in Lexington, open November 30th through December 23rd from 10 AM to 5 PM most days.</p> <h3>Lincoln, MA</h3> <p>Something Special in Lincoln was noted twice, first by Terese Surrette who said "They have something special for everyone on your list."</p> <p>In Lincoln, <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/terry-perlmutter/"> Terry Perlmutter</a> mentioned the Old Town Hall Exchange.</p> <h3>Surrounding Towns</h3> <p>Although our offices are located in the towns mentioned above, as well as Bedford and Carlisle, they are not the only places we are fortunate to enjoy!</p> <p>In Littleton, Cataldo's came up more than once. "They decorate dozens of trees with themed ornaments, have great stocking stuffers, and fun unique items," said <a href="https://barrettsothebysrealty.com/realestate/agent/karen-wallace/"> Karen Wallace</a>.</p> <p>Nicolette Mascari also suggested B Happy in Wayland, MA, with great gifts for any home.</p> <p>We hope you'll have the opportunity to visit one of the towns we get to call home during your holiday shopping this year!</p>
