The go-to list of quintessential Vineyard goodies for gift bags and favors includes such favorites as Murdick’s Fudge, Chilmark Chocolates, and personalized bottles of Chilmark Spring Water. But there are many more offerings from Island businesses and artisans, and here are our top ten:

1 Note cards. The Alison Shaw Gallery in Oak Bluffs sells customized packs of note cards with Alison’s striking Island photos (alisonshaw.com). Other Vineyard artists can likely offer something similar. The Martha’s Vineyard Community Services’ Thrift Shop in Vineyard Haven sells note cards with vintage Island images.

2 Sail bags. If you want a sturdy tote for your gifts, consider one made of recycled sails by Vineyard Sailbags at the Loft in Vineyard Haven (vineyardsailbags.com).

3 Island honey. Harvested by Katama Apiaries and Island Bee Company, the Island’s own sweet nectar is a perfect gift from you and your honey.

4 Town gifts. Several companies style products after Island towns. The Chilmark fragrance at Vineyard Bath Co. (vineyardbathcompany.com) is a “bold fusion of wild lavender and sage.” Martha’s Vineyard Candle Company (mvcandle.com) offers a “sunset” scent for Aquinnah. State Road restaurant’s West Tis chocolate bar is full of crunchy, caramelized almonds (stateroadmv.com).

5 Offshore Ale. The Oak Bluffs brewery sells great beer – and its own root beer – and plenty of fun logo items (offshoreale.com).

6 Scavenger hunt. Funhunters, a laminated list of things to find, see, make, and smell on the Vineyard (unhunterkid.com), is great for guests with young kids. Last year Funhunters made the Boston Globe Travel section’s “hot tips for summer.”

7 New Moon Magick. This OB sweet shop (newmoonmagick.net) sells its Enchanted Chocolates, such as the Chocolate Sand Bar, along with such creative botanicals as Naked Chilmarkian After Beach Butter.
