We’ve got a box of goodies made right here on the South Coast, any one of which would make a great gift alone but, when taken together, create a real “wow!” moment.
And each box helps support the following local small businesses:
Alison Wells works from her downtown New Bedford Studio & Gallery which showcases her original contemporary fine art paint ings and mixed media.
Barbara LoMonico founded Honey + Vine Apothecary which produces small-batch skin care In tiverton, RI to nourish your skin and make you glow. Based in Tiverton with carefully sourced mineral clay, plant and nut oils, honey and spices and uses gentle surfactants and active botanicals.

Wareham Resident Christina Tomkiewixz started making candles in 2018 for herself when she realized she could make a healthier alternative than her store bought candles. In 2019 she launched Cloverdilly Candle Company.
Dorothy Cox’s has been a South Coast mainstay since 1928. The third and fourth generation are still using the family recipes to make delicious candies and chocolates.
Madeleine Whitley is the owner of Westport’s gift shop, Beautiful Things, Madeleine says, “my philosophy is that no matter what you are doing in life it should be done beautifully so my boutique is filled with beautiful and useful things.”
New Bedford resident Mirko Lopes founded Meiko’s Bath House because all his friends wanted more of the bath salts he made for himself with handcrafted blends of Epsom Salt, Dead Sea Salt, and Pink Himalayan Salt.
