Gift giving has been around since the dawn of time, beginning when a protective protozoan papa presented his amoeba child with a shell coat for the long winter ahead. See how presents have evolved in the present with today's deal: for $10, you get $20 worth of gifts and accessories at Polka Dots on Charlotte Road.

Proprietor Jackie Pickering stocks her bright, inviting shop with an array of functional and fashionable wares ranging from candles to iPhone cases to ballet flats. Win over an oenophile with stylish new wine glasses ($10–$20), or encourage responsible shopping by buying a buddy a recyclable tote bag ($1–$10) and filling it with hand-written nutrition and checkbook-balancing tips. Wallets and silver engraved jewelry ($20–$30) make excellent additions to back pockets and head pedestals, whereas Eliza B sandals ($30+) assist fashionable wayfarers in stylishly traipsing along windswept beaches toward sea turtle picnics.

Polka Dots was voted Best New Store in 2010 by Connect Savannah.

• It’s a bright, sunny storefront, and it’s packed with knick–knacks, apparel, cards, soaps and candles, picture frames, stationery, and pretty much everything in between. - Connect Savannah
