For the man who has everything, a fancy globe is a fascinating gift.  Ann’s has some of the best, and he’ll love the surprise of a finely made piece.  They’re decorative, large, and invite hours of contemplation.  Choose a replica of ancient mapmaker’s skill, or a modern layout in gemstones.  Sizes range from floor standing to small tabletop.   Here are a few, ready for Christmas now at Ann’s:

Large, floor standing globe is wood and hides a drinks set inside! Wheels make it easy to move. Old-fashioned style map. $437

Vaugondy globe replicates the 18th century original, designed by mapmakers to Louis XV in 1790. $550

Modern globe made from gemstones features onyx for the oceans. Mounted in a swivel base with compass. $495

Since Ann’s is an independent, family-owned brick and mortar store, we can happily skip all the “Black Friday” big box retailer shopping  insanity.  We’ll close for Thanksgiving Day, but open regular hours on Friday, November 25, at 10 am to 6 pm.  (Click here for specifics on Ann’s Store hours.)

Why not bring your out-of-town guests to Ann’s for a visit during their Thanksgiving holiday with you?  They’ll enjoy sampling our coffee and chocolates and browsing our beautiful store.  We have so much to see in our 16,000 square foot store, with gifts in all price ranges.   (See our list of categories, right side of this page.)  It’s all very civilized, with no camping out or lining up in rainy wee hours.  Just beautiful gifts in a lovely store with nice people to wait on you and free gift wrapping for your purchases.  

Enjoy your family Thanksgiving Holiday.  We look forward to your visit to Ann’s!

Ann’s will be open Sundays in November and December (through December 18) from 12 pm to 5 pm.  It’s a great time to come get a little Christmas shopping done!

One of Ann’s customer’s favorites is back in stock.  This necklace is 60″ of Majorica round gray pearls.  Wear them so many ways because the long strand is versatile.   These will quickly become her favorite!  $445.  To see more Majorica pearls at Ann’s, click here.

You’ll get FREE chocolate when you buy these (or any jewelry) in October!
