If your looking for unique gifts, be sure to stop by these stores …

They have a very cozy atmosphere and affordable pricing so it’s easy to find unique gifts to wrap up and put under the Christmas tree (or to decorate your own house).

Tee 2 Green

If you know someone who lives on the fairway (or even in the rough), Tee 2 Green has everything a golfing fanatic could need like clubs, apparel, bags, balls, and more. This is also the perfect store if you’re shopping for a Montreal Canadiens player because they will definitely be golfing come April.

Rivendell Books

This one is for the bookworms on your list. Rivendell Books has an enormous assortment of books from every genre including true crime, westerns, thrillers, poetry, and more. They also have craft and cookbooks, collectibles, games, and specialize in older, hard to find books.
