Holiday Shopping at Daff Dry Goods: Cozy Gifts, Local Finds & Festive Favorites in Ellicottville
With cozy apparel, quality footwear, Pendleton classics, and thoughtful gifts, Daff Dry Goods is your one-stop local shop for holiday presents big and small.
There are just four weekends left until Christmas, and there’s no better time to start (or perhaps complete) your holiday shopping than now! Daff Dry Goods, located at 17 Washington St., Ellicottville, is home to an incredible range of beautiful gifts for everyone on your list. Owner Laura Solly has a wide selection of ideal items for all the special people in your life, and you may just find something perfect for yourself to kick off the ski or holiday season!
For the lovely ladies…
Daff has a great variety of women’s sweaters that are warm, perfect for layering, and have a cozy après-ski feel! From cable knits, to zip-front cardigans, to Icelandic-style sweaters, Daff has the right style for your mother, wife, daughter, sister, or yourself! Especially the Icelandic sweaters, Solly noted, “A lot of our customers return every year and buy those. It’s very big in the ski world and après-ski.” Daff is also known for their selection of hats with an outdoorsy, western vibe that pairs well with warm sweaters!
For your favorite guys…
Daff Dry Goods has got the men in your life covered from head to toe - literally! Choose from a variety of hats and caps, including Pendleton hats (with or without earflaps) and Tentree hats. “Tentree is a really cool line,” Solly noted. “For every item purchased, the company plants trees.” If you’re shopping for a dad, husband, brother, or son who loves to spend time outdoors, Daff’s True Grit flannel shirts make a great gift that’s high quality and eye-catching. Solly said, “True Grit is just known for their details, whether it’s the lining in the neck that might be a denim color or a little different stitching on the sleeve that just makes it sort of distinctive.”
If your man likes an extra layer, Daff’s men’s Pendleton sweaters are a beautiful choice, featuring Pendleton’s iconic western-style plaid and Native American designs and motifs. Pendleton men’s socks are the perfect accompaniment to the sweater, and if you’re really embracing a theme (or looking to purchase a beautiful gift for the home), Daff has an entire room of Pendleton blankets and throws, including the National Park collection.
For the whole family…
You really can’t go wrong with Daff’s wide selection of footwear, including boots, slippers, slides, and more. Solly highlighted a new boot brand, FUBUKI: “They’re actually a Japanese boot that started with the snowmakers wearing them, and they’ve kind of gone into these fun, poppy colors.” There are many brands and styles of slippers to choose from, including Teva, Minnetonka, and OluKai slippers, another new footwear brand for the store. What makes slippers such a great gift item? “Slippers are huge this time of year,” Solly pointed out. “People love that easy-in, grab their wood for the fire or just run to the grocery store quick thing. That’s big for both men and women.” Daff carries slippers, boots, shoes, and sandals for men and women, as well as Robeez for the babies in your life!
For girlfriends, neighbors, teachers, and beyond…
For all of those last-minute get-togethers and surprise guests, Daff Dry Goods has what you need! Beautiful mugs, bowls, vases, candles, and other gift items from Natural Life are perfect for any occasion and any recipient. “It’s one of our biggest accessory brands,” Solly noted. “Their items make ideal gifts for girlfriends, dog lovers, cat lovers, and they have a lot of that outdoor theme, too.” Not only can you leave Daff with a lovely gift, but you can also leave with a smartly wrapped gift in a cheerful reusable gift bag!
