‘Tis the season for gift giving and holiday merriment. If you ask us, there’s no greater joy than giving the absolute most perfect gift. We asked our friend Sarah at Good Crowd to give us the rundown on perfect gifts for everyone in your life! Everything listed below is available on their website and in store.
For your babysitter who is always there when you need them
A Pair of Cloudy Day Earrings by Lou Jewels (14K gold fill $35) and a pair of Playhaus Goods “Hello Sunshine” or “Do Not Disturb” Sunnies ($20) (both items are from local small woman-owned businesses)
For the World’s Best Pandemic Teacher
Look, mugs are great, but teachers get plenty. But do they have THIS mug? ($15) Best if they use it at home to pump them up for the next school day. Maybe a gift with less sass? How about this Red Wine Facial Sheet Mask ($4) and Rose Soaking Salts ($26)
For the world’s best mom (Even if you have to order it for yourself)
Throw a pair of fun colorful earrings on with jeans & a t-shirt, and you are ready for anything! ($26) Extra points for a best mom ever candle. ($24)
For the dad who builds the best forts
This Florida “home” baseball tee is a step up from his old ripped college t-shirt, but just as comfy ($35). And for the dad who has grown a Covid-beard, give him this Wall-mounted Beard Bottle Opener ($14)
For the new parents in your life
Because sometimes parenthood is both sweet & hilarious, as so brilliantly displayed in this collection of toddler-isms compiled by a single dad. “Can I Sit on Your Lap While You’re Pooping” Book ($16)
For grandma and grandpa whether near or far
Handprints and custom ornaments are awesome, but something that is usable is even better. Grandma, You Rock Tea Towel ($16) and some fun Mister Rogers socks ($16)
For your stylish bestie
Does she love to host happy hour on her porch? Give her a Camp Craft Cocktail – Cranberry Martini kit made by a woman-owned small business in Jacksonville ($28) and a mug that will make her spit out her drink ($18).
For your neighbor who has everything
Give them a gift that can be used at the pool, the beach or hang it on a hook and make their bathroom look like a spa. Classic Turkish Towel with Charcoal Stripe by Hello Poolside ($40)
