As Thanksgiving is fast approaching it is time to start thinking about that “perfect gift.” We think a Gift Certificate is a great way to share The Bluenose with friends and family this Holiday Season. Our gift certificates can be used anywhere at The Bluenose Inn, dining at The Looking Glass Restaurant, an afternoon of luxury at the Eden Spa or perhaps a stay in a Mizzentop Suite.

In addition, for Gift Certificates purchased today to January 1, 2012, the Bluenose Inn will match 10% of the Gift Certificate value with a donation to Champion the Cure Challenge. Champion the Cure Challenge supports cancer prevention and research at the Lafayette Family Cancer Center located in Brewer, Maine.

Your Gift Certificate face value will match your total payment for the gift certificate. You will incur no additional fees for the donation to Champion the Cure Challenge.

Order your personalized gift certificates today!
