🎁 MVacay's 2024 Holiday Gift Guide

online finds for every Martha's Vineyard enthusiast on your list, plus experience gifts too

I may not put my Christmas tree up on November 1st, but I HAVE already started my holiday shopping! I love to start brainstorming and gathering ideas early - supporting local and small businesses as much as possible.

The Annual MVacay Gift Guide aims to spotlight businesses that are new to Martha’s Vineyard 💛, BIPOC or Minority-Owned 🧡, and Women-Owned Businesses 💗 whenever possible.

I also want to focus on ideas beyond material gifts. Below, you’ll find a robust section on experience and activity gifts.
