Holiday Shopping on Tybee
Holiday Shopping on Tybee
With just days until Thanksgiving, the holiday shopping season is officially upon us. And what a headache holiday shopping can be. It’s a nationwide surfeit of feigned Black Friday deals and gaudily-advertised blowouts designed to compel the masses to spend multi-billions on soon-to-be outdated electronics and whatever other inessential items you can think of. With impossibly long lines and in-store mania, you’d think the annual marketing scheme would lose its spark. Instead, the commercial event just gets bigger and bigger, and shoppers – sometimes literally – break an arm and a leg to feed the insatiable beast.

Talented Tybee artists, makers and collectors are vending one-of-a-kind creations that are sure to warm the hearts of those on your nice list this year.
