Gifts for children?
There’s no better spot to find a gift for the kid that has everything than a museum shop. DELAWARE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY’s gift shop has cool posters, fun dinosaur project kits, and quality items you won’t find at a big box store. Ditto for the shop at DELAWARE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM — a go-to place for science kits, educational books, and learning-through-play items. WINTERTHUR’s museum shop has a very nice selection for younger children who like to play fairy dress up, learn about history or explore nature.

experiences making this destination worthy of the drive. For those who enjoy interesting home décor, EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK offers a wide range of specialty goods, and CREATIONS GALLERY features the contemporary works of more than 150 American, Canadian and Australian artisans. Great finds
abound and every visit is a different experience!
Peter Kate Shoes.
This Greenville staple boutique — a fave of Jill Biden’s — offers a lovely collection of quality brands that you won’t find in many other shops, which means you won’t be wearing the same thing as everyone else.
Looking for something completely
The NEW CASTLE FARMERS MARKET is like a step back in time, where vendors offer a dizzying variety of wares, from wigs to pickles to electronics to handbags to pigs feet, in what resembles an indoor flea market. Need lunch? The Stoltzfus sausage sandwich tops the list of must-haves, but you’ll also find Mexican, vegetarian, Indian, barbecue . . . and Dutch Country Donuts for dessert.
