Ripple & Root<br />
A shop that will make you feel good with every irresistible purchase<br />
HIGHLIGHTS<br />
WHERE IS IT? On your left when<br />
heading toward Sunset Beach, right<br />
after Exit Zero Filling Station.<br />
WHY SHOULD I GO? Ripple and<br />
Root specializes in homegrown gifts, all<br />
inspired by nature. Whether you are<br />
shopping for the garden lover in your<br />
life, a statement piece for an upcoming<br />
event or beautiful artwork for your<br />
home, it is all crafted from the land and<br />
sea.<br />
Ripple and Root opened in 2019<br />
when Wendy Collins and Laura<br />
Shaddock — the same duo behind<br />
The Mission Inn bed and breakfast —<br />
aspired to have meaningful gift options<br />
for locals and visitors of <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong>.<br />
Every item in their store is made<br />
in the US and not available anywhere<br />
else in town. They offer many causebased<br />
products that support saving<br />
the oceans, charities and nonprofits,<br />
including Silver and Seeds,<br />
an organization focused on giving<br />
adults with disabilities creative and<br />
meaningful job opportunities. You can<br />
be proud of every purchase you make.<br />
They thrive on the idea that a small<br />
pebble can make a big impact. Wendy<br />
and Laura are all about being good<br />
community members while providing<br />
products you can connect with.<br />
Find gifts like live succulents, garden<br />
statuary and handcrafted artwork.<br />
They work with artisans and designers<br />
to create nature-inspired jewelry that<br />
ranges from quirky to elegantly refined.<br />
This sustainably minded business<br />
also uses upcycled containers for their<br />
homegrown succulents, all propagated<br />
right here on the island. Nothing is<br />
made from plastic — all products are<br />
made with the betterment of our<br />
environment in mind.<br />
Pick up a few mementos for a<br />
loved one to bring home with you from<br />
your stay in <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong>. Take a stroll<br />
or bike ride over or if you’d prefer to<br />
drive — the West <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong> shop has<br />
free parking available in their back lot.<br />
Support a local business that supports<br />
others — and grab a keepsake for<br />
yourself while you’re at it.<br />
