Matt Bauman, Founder of Island Toy Drive for Deep Well
Hilton Head Toys
“If you’re looking for that perfect item to donate to the Deep Well Santa Shop, they’ve got Melissa and Doug puzzles for the younger kids, the super popular Squishmallows, Hot Wheels, stuffed animals – you name it! This is the one-stop shop to get that special item to make sure kids have a magical Christmas morning.”
Lola Campbell, owner of Binyah
Carolina Coffee and Crumbs
“I love coming to Carolina Coffee because my friend and neighbor Erica owns it – and I love that it’s a woman-owned bakery! You get great coffee, great desserts, and it’s right across the street from the beach. Who wouldn’t love that?”
Ayanna Lee, Quiet Storm
“You will find my friends and me at Quiet Storm all summer long! We love coming here to shop for fun colorful swimsuits and sundresses! In the winter months we stock up on cozy sweaters (like this fish one!) hats, and cool bags.”
Alison Schreiner
Pops Candy Shop
“Even though I have adult children, I still love to come shopping down at Coligny to Pops, to purchase all kinds of candy for their Christmas stockings every year. It’s one of my favorite places – they have candy for kids of all ages, and my very dear friend owns the store. I love locals supporting locals!”
Amber and Alexis Cole
Island Girl
“I love shopping at Coligny because they have ALL the stuff. From Island Girl having the matching pajamas for me and my daughter to Piggly Wiggly supplying everything I need for our holiday meals – it’s just … it’s home. It’s local and it’s comfort and I love being here.”
Jessica Gibbons, Hilton Head Livin’
The Christmas Mouse
“I always get a Christmas ornament when I go on vacation – so I love the Christmas Mouse because even though we live here now, it makes me feel like I’m on vacation! Today, I’m getting a little sea turtle because Hilton Head Island is known for their sea turtles!”
Denice Brown
Mingles
“I love Coligny for the specialty shops! There are so many different places that you can get creative gifts for your loved ones (or for yourself) – and beautiful keepsakes like this oyster platter I found at Mingles.”
Amy Colin, Director of Second Helpings
Piggly Wiggly
“This is the oldest grocery store on Hilton Head Island and I’ve been coming here for years – first as a tourist and then when we moved here. Not only do they have everything – and they’re fun – but Dave Martin, the owner, contributes heavily to this community. As someone who works with Second Helpings, a local food rescue organization, we currently are feeding about 13,000 people a week. Piggly Wiggly has just been invaluable as a partner in this endeavor. They are always there for us when we need to purchase proteins and produce for our neighbors in need. Coligny has been a great partner, throwing yearly events like the Souper Bowl of Caring and Rock ’n’ Ribs, of which Second Helpings is the beneficiary.”
Michelle Brockway, owner The Frosty Frog
“My favorite time of year in Coligny Plaza is Christmas! Patrick Taylor, the previous owner of Frosty Frog, was a huge fan of Christmas. He always started decorating and playing Christmas music the day after Halloween. As the new owners, my husband and I like to carry on that tradition, so we’ve already got the lights up! We love to host locals and tourists this time of year, so come on down to the Frosty Frog for a little holiday cheer.”
