Do you love the bustle and busyness of the holidays but find it stressful shopping at big malls? Avoid huge crowds and long lineups by shopping at the open-air Newport Village shopping centre.

Not only are we home to an array of retailers carrying quality goods, but we offer plenty of parking underground and at street level for easy access.

To help make your Newport Village shopping trip easier, we’ve compiled a gift guide to point you in the right direction.

For Pet Owners

What do you buy the person who has everything? Something for their pet! If you’re buying for a bird-lover, visit Backyard Bird Centre. They’ve been in the business since 1995 and stock every type of specialty food and feeder imaginable. They also carry garden decor and handmade stained glass.

For those with furry friends, stop by Bone & Biscuit. This is a boutique-style store that caters to dogs and cats. They stock health-conscious foods and treats as well as clothing, toys and artisan baked goods.

For Fashion-Lovers

It can be hard to find the perfect item for someone who is constantly updating their wardrobe. If you’re buying for someone with a statement-making, unique style, Vive Clothing carries an array of bold pieces you can’t find elsewhere.

The family-run boutique Belissima carries modern, upscale fashion for women, and My Collection offers European-inspired looks from Germany, Denmark, Italy and France as well as professional alterations and consultations.

For the jewellery lover in your life, visit Wish on a Star. Many of their pieces come from local artists and feature one-of-a-kind designs.

For Kids

You haven’t been a kid in a long time, so you may feel out of your depth when toy shopping. We recommend visiting The Village Toy Shop for a fun and fruitful experience. They have resident “toyologists” who will help you pick the perfect present based on the child’s age and interests.

For Craft-Lovers

Do you have a friend or family member who always has a project on-the-go? While Paper Nook specializes in personalized goods, they also carry craft supplies, beautiful wall art, stationery and other unique items.
