The Rocks' shops OPEN November 2nd!

We are so excited for the holiday season to start that we’re opening both our wonderful gift shops at The Rocks Estate NEXT WEEK! That’s right, both the Rocks Marketplace and the Rocks Gift Shop will be offering up holiday gifts, decorations, and good cheer daily, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., from November 2^nd right through Christmas Eve.

(Please note The Rocks will be closed Thanksgiving Day.)

Each year The Rocks staff searches throughout our region to bring wonderful new items to our Gift Shop and Marketplace shelves, and we’re proud to offer myriad locally- and regionally-crafted goods, from pottery and preserves to handmade soaps and candies to festive ornaments and intricately decorated wreaths. And because variety is the spice of successful holiday shopping, we make sure to have something for everyone on your gift list: kids and grandparents, friends and neighbors, even your pets!

This season at the Rocks Marketplace, shoppers will find an array of offerings from local artisans. These include beautifully made, hand-painted pottery from Joan Hannah, a retired farmer and former Olympic skier from Sugar Hill; hand-made goat milk soap from Hillary Tuite McMahon of Wild Oaks Farm in Landaff; outdoors-inspired jewelry from Emily Mouchon of Hunt Fish Maine; old-fashion candy from Country Cupboard Candy of New Hampshire, and countless other regional items.

For that hard-to-find gift for the guy (or gal) who has everything, check out the Pocket Monkey, a 12-in-1 tool that fits in a wallet and can open a bottle or a letter, fix your eyeglasses, peel an orange and more. To add a little ambiance to someone’s home, pick up a Bottle Wick, which can turn an empty wine or ale bottle into a classic oil lamp – and is made in Hancock, N.H. For family fun, the Cider Time Press, skillfully made by Maine craftsmen, is a compact cider press for home use.

Holiday shoppers will find ornaments, Rocks Estate maple syrup, and a beautiful selection of holiday wreaths, in the Rocks Gift Shop. And remember, The Rocks opens for Christmas tree sales, including Cut-Your-Own, November 21^st.

Can’t make it to The Rocks this holiday season? Don’t fret… we’ll deliver the holidays right to your doorstep! Our online shop offers fantastic gifts, fresh-cut trees, wreaths, ornaments, and all the accessories you need to make your holiday happy and bright!

However you shop, The Rocks is ready to help you bring home the holidays!
