Hurry down to Whales & Friends and get in the holiday spirit! This shop is full of magical surprises for everyone on your list. You will find an eclectic collection of garden sculptures, music boxes, fun and educational toys and books, wind chimes, contemporary art glass vases, beautiful hand crafted jewelry, knitted wool sox, scarves, lots of hats, eclectic purses and so many more nature inspired gifts, including wood inlay business card holders and Nativity scenes made from olive tree wood in the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

But first pick out some ornaments for each special person in your life – it will definitely get you in the spirit. Old fashion TVs and trailers capture the fairy-inspired traditional holiday celebrations in the forest, with bears and rabbits dancing around the Christmas Tree. They range in size from 7″ – 21″ across. And when you turn the knob on the TV, the animals and people start moving to holiday music! And look closely for fairies in the shop.

The store is aptly named as there are many Friends from the Sea – whale, seahorse, dolphin and sea turtle earrings and necklaces. And their friends come in many sizes and shapes.

At Whales & Friends, you will find wonderful stuffed animals – geese, bears, cats, dogs, wild animals and such. Their beloved shopkeeper loves all types of animals and reflects that also in her jewelry creations.
