Stuck for that perfect Christmas gift? Look no further than the shops, attractions, galleries and fair stalls of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate this Christmas...
From handmade crafted jewellery, artisan ceramics, printed cards and local photographer-framed images to retro clothing and homeware, we've got hugely talented local creatives right here in Thanet.
Attractions such as Margate Caves, the Shell Grotto and the Crab Museum have their own shops, full of unique gifts. Relive your youth at The WonderWorks shop, or pick up a memento from Ramsgate Tunnels, RAF Manston History Museum, or the Spitfire and Hurricane Museum.
It's not just about the gifts - there's food and drink on the menu too. Get your beer fix at The Ramsgate Brewery, or Margate's Northdown Brewery, or browse Quex Barn's counters and markets full of cheeses, meat and fish. Room for more mince pies and mulled wine?
