There are other shops in the same plaza that may interest your friend. There is a small bookshop, a yarn shop as someone mentioned, a nice little supermarket that has some different items in it, a liquor store and close by, a very unique gift shop called Yikes that sells US made items and a home furnishing store that I haven't been it but looks upscale. There's also a small restaurant called The Mug by the Bay that my brother loves. Back in Meredith there is a great bead shop called Bella Beads and other great shops in a converted mill. I hope you can work something out.
