New Gift Shop Opens in Cruz Bay

The Little Things is a great new gift shop located in Cruz Bay near the ferry dock.

There is a great little gift shop that recently opened in Cruz Bay, and I think you are all going to love it.

The Little Things is the island’s newest gift shop, which sells a large assortment of custom-made items. Everything is made onsite with new items being added daily, owner Christy Collins told me recently. Christy, a St. John resident of more than 20 years, opened the shop to fill a gift giving need she saw amongst friends and family.

“Being here for so long, gift giving is challenging,” Christy told me recently. ” I wanted to open a shop where we can give personalized things that are from the heart to each other.”

The shop isn’t just for residents, of course. It offers a variety of fun and creative items for everyone from personalized cups and tumblers, to customized St. John puzzles, Tic, Tac Toe games and more. Check out a few pics:

Christy’s love of creating personalized items began after the 2017 storms when she began etching glass. From there, she started working with lasers, and soon, The Little Things was born.

Items range in prices from $18 for a pair of custom-made earrings created from local birch wood to custom-made cups that start at $35. Personalization is an added charge. Custom orders are accepted and welcomed.

The Little Things is located right near the ferry dock and beside Mooie’s. High Tide and Freebird are just across the street. The Little Things is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.- ish everyday.
