Mystic, Connecticut

First up is the seaport village of Mystic, Connecticut. Known for its maritime history and as the backdrop of a beloved 1980s rom-com, Mystic offers visitors the ideal place for pre-holiday shopping and snacking. Start your day with a warm cup of apple cider and a sugar-coated donut from B. F. Clyde’s Cider Mill, which is the oldest steam-powered cider mill in the United States. This place offers visitors a variety of apple-flavored treats and an old-fashioned atmosphere, to boot. After you’ve had a sugar fix, stroll your way through colonial-style Olde Mistick Village. With a variety of specialty shops, restaurants, and artisans in walking distance of each other, you’re sure to get a head start on your holiday shopping list and leave with a full belly.

Mad for Plaid

It’s time to put the florals away and pull the plaid out from the back of your closet. Nothing screams fall quite like a checkered shirt or tartan scarf. Stay classic with a leather bag that will pair perfectly with your favorite flannel and riding boots. Looking for something a little bigger than the average handbag this season? The RFID Organizer Backpack in Espresso offers room for all your day-to-day essentials PLUS a little extra with a padded pocket for your tablet and built-in wallet features.
