Design-Your-Gift

Design-Your-Gift is an interactive bead and jewelry design store for ages 5 to 105. Over 40,000 beads that I have purchased in the U.S. and international cities - St. Petersburg, Manila, Venice, New Delhi, Mumbai, Paris, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam and more. Loose beads can be purchased individually, but most visitors sit and design their jewelry on site. Plus, I can teach customers how to finish clasps and ear wires or complete the jewelry for them. Customers can choose to create their own special jewelry for themselves or for gifts for the special women in their lives. It's a great destination for birthday parties, ladies night out groups, rainy days or too hot days in SWFL, or when out-of-town visitors need a creative activity! And great for dads to bring the kids (boys too) on a Saturday to make gifts for mom for the holidays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or just because! The schedule is posted on the website or customers are welcome to call to schedule a private party or visit.

Bonita Springs Public Beach

Reviewed By alwaystripin - Estero, United States

This is a great place to catch the sunset. Just remember that parking is limited so you may want to get there a bit early. There is a beach bar right there, probably good pizza or burger but we got the fish which was just ok. Still, there is a nice picnic area with grills and tables and the beach is very clean. Love going there for the day or sunset.

What could be better than an off-leash dog park with ocean access for pups to cool off! My family was visiting the area and homesick for our pooch so we headed to the dog park to get our canine hit. Great fun! Be sure to time your visit for low tide. A short walk from the parking lot to the beach.

Little Hickory Beach Park

Reviewed By MrsZClark

This beach is gorgeous, Please note that this isnt your typical public beach. It is surrounded by many private beach clubs, which helps to make it very quiet, however hard to access. Once you can get a parking at one of the public parking areas, you will be happy you visited. Be sure to bring your own chairs, and coolers. There are no public places to buy anything. The bathrooms at the public access areas are so clean, and offer showers post beach visit. I loved this so much!!

Momentum Brewhouse

Reviewed By candidhoney - Englewood, United States

Came here to the new property with friends and family to catch up before the holidays at the end of 2019. They have great beers, ciders and potato chips! I was only sorry there were no tacos the night we visited (lol!) It's a great place to catch up with friends or family and play a game or two. It's one of our favorite places in Bonita and we were excited to hear about the new expansion of local ordinances to allow more food trucks! (It was so important to us we even went to the meeting at city hall.)

Pottery As Art

This is as much a tourist attraction as it is a shopping location. It has a huge indoor and outdoor showroom area and the staff is about as friendly as they come!!! Browse among the huge vases, outdoor pots, wall hangings, statuary, fountains and bric-a-brac. There's something for everyone and there are things you'll never see anywhere else. Check it out.

Victoria's

SPECIAL HOURS OPEN 12/24/20 for Christmas Eve 10am - 2pm Closed Christmas Day Closed New Years Eve 12/31 Closed New Years Day 1/1/2021 Victoria's Place is a unique shopping destination like no other. A world of color awaits you when you enter the shop. This is where it all comes to life! Inspiration isn't man-made. It's a gift from nature. And when it comes, it creates something original and beautiful. So when considering a piece of my art - whether it be canvas or clothing -purses or pots, it's not necessarily supposed to match your couch or your pants. It's supposed to match... you! Enjoy the glorification of the mundane!

Fun place to shop for fairly priced unique clothing. Be prepared for crowds and limited shopping hours.
