The 700 Experience Gift Guide

1. The company that brought you personalized labels now brings you personalized gift boxes, just in time for the holiday season. The choice is yours, for $25.00 make a selection from their 21 bruts and have it placed in a single wooden gift box. Or seeing double? Then add two flutes, and a filler for $45.00. Really thirsty? Replace the champagne glasses with another bottle and pay $30.00. Best not to be on island time, only limited quantities are available. Place your order here.

2. No need to check your list twice, get Shellac on your nails once and after your polish sets you can simply forget and enjoy 14+ days of lasting color. The only thing chipping this holiday season may be a crystal wine glass, victim to one too many clinks. Sun, sand and sea proof – available at Windermere Day Spa + Salon.

3. Call this slice of heaven, home. Located among a chain of 365 islands and a quick 90 minute flight from Miami, the private 167 acre island known as Children’s Bay Cay awaits your arrival. Prefer to arrive by boat, seaplane or helicopter? You can do that too. With 7 beaches, 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 docks, 1 hellipad, 1 seaplane ramp, and a 1.4 acre marina, island living will surely not disappoint. Did we mention The Exumas offers a different island to be experienced each day of the year? Purchase a dream from Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty here.

4. As Schooner Bay Developer and T7E Island Connoisseur Orjan Lindroth said of the book A Living Tradition – Architecture of The Bahamas,”we went to Eleuthera, we went to the Abacos and basically cataloged roughly 250 years of architectural history and then defined the patterns that are unique to The Bahamas… It proves the point that most design is the result in need of place, with intelligent solution applied.” The shelf-worthy book is available here.

5. Adopt and island hop. You may call him man’s best friend but we like to think of him as the perfect travel accessory, especially when flying Saga Boy Air Charters. With the charter company’s no ‘summer heat’ embargo, you and your dog can kick-back in the cabin as azure speckled waters drift beneath you. No travel companion? Why not adopt?

6. For the foodie in your life, the perfect gift and a view to match. Give the gift of a certificate to the Harbourfront Lounge.

Now tell me, what do you hope makes it under your tree this year?
