Ditch the Box and Shop the Block

It's officially time to turn up the Christmas tunes and start making progress with your holiday gift shopping. Shop local this year and support independent and local businesses like Block Island Trading Company. They’ve got you covered from festive home-décor and stocking stuffers to great holiday gifts. Located in the Shoppes at the National Hotel on the corner of Water Street and Dodge Street, they will be open Friday through Sunday up until Christmas from noon to 3 p.m. Do good for the economy and support hard-working business owners in your local community. Can’t make it to the store? No worries, Block Island Trading Company offers PayPal-Bill Me Later, allowing buyers up to six moths to pay for all their purchases. Put a little sparkle into the “the most wonderful time of the year” and shop outside of the average chain stores.
