Best Stocking Stuffers in Banderas Bay

But luckily there are some great places for unique, fun and fantastic stocking stuffers all around Banderas Bay.  So jump in your sleigh…or maybe a taxi….and check out some of these great Christmas shopping destinations in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit.

On December 15^th and 16^th, from 5:00 to 9:00pm, La Luna Restaurant in Old Town hosts the 1^st Annual Christmas Market featuring local craftspeople from around Banderas Bay.  You’ll find everything from handmade ornaments to gourmet, hand-crafted Mexican sauces and spiced wine at the market.  Bring the little ones for gingerbread house decorating happening both nights at 6:30pm.

Local Farmers Markets are another way stuff stockings with some of the best of Banderas Bay.  Jewelry, local crafts and artwork, handmade soaps and lotions, clothing and Mexican vanilla are just a few of the hundreds of unique and affordable options you’ll find.  Try the Puerto Vallarta Farmers Market on Saturday mornings in Olas Altas, the Nuevo Vallarta Farmers Market, also on Saturday mornings at the Marina Pavillion, or the La Cruz Farmers Market on Sundays from 10am to 2pm in the main plaza.

And if all of that Christmas shopping and good cheer inspires you to share a little holiday spirit with those less fortunate, talk to your Luxury Beach concierge about making a donation to one of the worthy charitable organizations around the area, like Toys for Tots, now in their fourteenth year in the Banderas Bay region, or Corazon de Niña, a Puerto Vallarta shelter for young girls.
