Ms. Jeffers said, "We try to keep our customers pleased by providing quality items and plenty of them. We are well stocked for holiday shopping and offer long shopping hours.'' For the ladies there are perfumes galore, a Portmeiron Christmas plate or bell, and lots of local stuff like pretty cutting boards with local recipes, aprons. Ms. Jeffers recommended the Italian capes of wool, velvet and acrylic ranging from $45 to $87.

For the men are dress shirts, shorts, pyjamas and classic black slippers with red plaid inserts.

British-tailored wool blazers are classic pieces which are always fashionable.

Check out the name brands for men such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.
