GrandmaHofmann Posted May 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Our guide, Dennis Hollis, suggested we take a look in the gift shop inside the lighthouse. He said their prices were good. So, not expecting much, we did so. We were surprised at the amount of things there, and also by the prices. When we checked them against those in the Dockyard, we found that on every occasion, the Dockyard prices were twice the light house's. So, if you are out by the lighthouse, go on in.

Best unique buys at the Lighthouse are Bermuda yacht ensigns. The America's Cup store is now open at the Dockyard. IMO, the quality of the clothing is not as good as it was in San Francisco and the prices in Bermuda are outrageous.

figment9999 Posted May 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The Bermuda Craft Narket & Bermuda Arts Centre are in the same building as the Frog and Onion. Both have great items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I saw three official America's Cup stores last year with different branded merchandise. Two in the Dockyard and one in Hamilton. The one in Hamilton was Vintage Vines. I don't recall which brands were in the other two stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles4515 Posted May 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Where is the "lighthouse"? Gibbs Lighthouse. It is on Lighthouse Rd. off of South Road. Not far from Horseshoe Beach. Great views from the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked if any other stores were around, clerk answered "no." Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njhorseman Posted May 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Can you take the #7 bus to Gibbs lighthouse? Yes. You have to walk up a bit of a hill to get from the bus stop to the lighthouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to have an email for Dennis? Would like to inquire about his availability for September 17! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted August 27, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2017 The Glass Factory in the Dockyard, has lovely handblown items. Varying prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridaythe13th Posted September 11, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 11, 2017 My favorite souvenir gift shop is Flying Colors in Hamilton. Get off the ferry, walk across the street and up Queen St, not far on the left. Lots of colored flags out front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Something fun! Posted November 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Our guide, Dennis Hollis, suggested we take a look in the gift shop inside the lighthouse. He said their prices were good.

This was a great tip! Also, if you are docked at King's Wharf, check out the gift shop on Heritage Wharf. They had a lot of good souvenirs/gifts at decent prices. Already mentioned, but Flying Colours in Hamilton has a great selection of t-shirts and all kinds of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
