things to do in salem, salem ma gift giving guide 2021

Hi everyone! Happy Monday and welcome back to the blog. Today I wanted to share with you my ten picks for holiday gift giving this year. I publish a blog post about this every year and since we are now about to roll into December I figured this was the perfect time.

Please keep in mind there are tons of great options in and around Salem for holiday gifts. This list is, of course, not all inclusive.

Salem’s Other Seasons

If you’re coming to Salem this winter, spring or summer I now have an off season guide available for immediate download. It is packed with tips and tricks, city wide event info and planning tools so you can prepare and make the most of your visit.

The Salem Witch Trials: Reckoning and Reclaiming

Stocking stuffers from Diehl Marcus

Diehl Marcus moved into Salem fairly recently (ish) and they have such unique items. Candles, teas, oddities and more. These would all make fantastic stocking stuffers! Browse their collection online right here.

A glance at the future

If you visited Salem and didn’t get your cards read, you still have options! I offer virtual/digital readings in the shop on my website and I’d be happy to read for you or for a loved one. If you’re making a purchase for someone else please note that in your order or email me and let me know when you place your order.
