ShoppingInstead of the usual cutesy Cape Cod shops, Bourne is known for its factory outlets. Cape Cod Factory Outlet Mall, just off Route 6, Exit 1, Sagamore (tel. 508/888-8417), has 20 stores including Van Heusen, L'Eggs/Hanes/Playtex/Bali, Osh Kosh B'Gosh, Bass Shoe, and Samsonite. Gifts -- You can observe artisans continuing the tradition of the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company at Pairpoint Glass Works, 851 Sandwich Rd. (Rte. 6A, near the foot of the Sagamore Bridge), Sagamore (tel. 800/899-0953 or 508/888-2344). Thomas J. Pairpoint was a leading designer in the 1880s. The output includes skillful replicas. Glass blowing takes place Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm. Bargain-lovers flock to the Christmas Tree Shops at the Sagamore Bridge, Sagamore (tel. 508/888-7010). The stock here is not just holiday-related. Housed in an oversize thatch-roofed Tudor cottage, complete with spinning windmill (you can't miss it), the array is Woolworthian in scope. There are six more branches of Christmas Tree Shops in other towns on the Cape. Seafood -- You couldn't hope for a fresher catch than what you'll find at Cataumet Fish, 1360 Rte. 28A, Cataumet (tel. 508/564-5956). Buy a whole fish or cart home a couple of lobsters.
