Resort wear, fine jewelry, gifts and fudge for the family
My family had visited the Topsail and loved the Topsail Trading Company. It was my kids favorite place to go. Love the bubble gum machine with the hope of free fudge and my daughter loved to play the piano. I had a little hiccup with an order at Christmas. I called and the woman who waited on me was lovely. Not only did she refund my money, but when I got back after a trip at Christmas - to my complete surprise was my fudge order in full!! How wonderful was that!! Now that is superb business. I will be ordering again and again and again....☺️

My wife and I are fortunate to have been able to spend an annual vacation in Avon each October for the past 15 years. There few things that we have not already seen, so it takes something special to get us away from our beach front rental. One place that is a annual must for us is Kinnakeet Clay. They have wonderfully crafted art, warm & welcoming staff, and a great artisan/owner. If you are staying in the OBX south of Nags Head, Kinnakeet Clay is well worth you time for a visit. ????

The Scotch Bonnet is most famous for its rich, creamy and delicious fudge that is made right on the premises with real cream and butter! Our Fudge is so heavenly it was even featured on the Food Network! We also offer over 21 flavors of saltwater taffy, Jelly Belly jelly beans, seashells, t-shirts and unique gifts. So if your sweet tooth needs satisfying and you find yourself on the Outer Banks, a stop at the Scotch Bonnet is an absolute must!
I love the fudge here. They sent me an e-mail telling me of flavor of the month, it was Bear Claw Fudge. Since I'm not going there till Oct. I had them send it to me. Wonderful!!!!! It tasted just like a Bear Claw Danish. I hope they still have it in OCT. when I visit. If not, they still have 30 + flavors to choose from. This is the best fudge and they always are having new flavors.

We had a small project to replace stained glass in a lamp that was my mothers. Lisa, one of the owners, could not have been more helpful. Not only did she give us her undivided attention but she also cut the glass that day so we wouldn’t have to make a second trip back. If you have a glass project, this is the go to place ! Friendly atmosphere , clean shop, and reasonable pricing!

A unique contemporary gift shop specializing in 14kt. gold and sterling silver jewelry. We feature one of the finest selection of charms, earrings, bracelets and anklets with a coastal or beach flair. This year we picked a wonderful selection of fun and fabulous jewelry that you will love to wear all year. Since 1987, Gulf Stream Gifts has been a favorite shopping destination for visitors.
I have been stopping in Gulf Stream Gifts for over twenty years. They have the nicest variety of items. Nothing junky. Great prices. Very unique items. Love their jewelry. I always come home with such nice "beachy" items after my stop at this great store. The owners do a wonderful job keeping their store full of beautiful things.
