Gifts from Florida for the Home

Remember your Florida vacation year-round with decor from Florida or themed around Florida’s most iconic scenes.

Florida Photos Wall Decor

Upgrade your home’s decor and bring a little bit of Florida to you with my photography as fine art prints, throws, or pillows. Choose from beautiful photos like sea oats at sunset or a foggy morning at the marina. All of the fine art is also available on mugs, t-shirts, face masks, beach towels, and tote bags.

Florida Candle

Have you seen these state-themed candles? Called “homesick” candles because their scent should evoke memories of your home state, I was skeptical at first. However, if you’re looking for a gift from Florida for someone who loves the sunshine state, take a look at this one. The woodsy scent with orange undertones really captures the more rural parts of the state. The citrus is faint, though, so if you prefer a candle with a stronger citrus scent, try this candle with hints of blood orange, red currant, and hyacinth blossoms.

Florida Cutting Board

This is one of my favorite housewarming gifts to give to anyone who has recently moved to Florida. It makes a beautiful piece of wall decor as well as a functional cutting board that becomes a topic of conversation. Cut on the unengraved back side and display the engraved front side. The engravings showcase some of the more well-known places in Florida – Miami, Orlando, the Everglades, St. Augustine. It also has lesser known, but equally important, spots that the locals love, such as Green Swamp, Wacissa, and Micanopy.

Florida Gifts Coffee or Wine Tumbler

In Florida, we love our coffee and our wine. It’s only fitting to have a tumbler which fits both purposes. What can be easier than simply washing it out and switching from coffee (or water, stay hydrated!) to wine in the evening? This tumbler comes in a very Florida shade of blue with the state’s outline imprinted in white. A blue heart in the middle of the state shows our love for this unique place. It’s the perfect gift from Florida for the coffee or wine lover in your family.

Florida Flag

There’s no better way to show your love for Florida than to fly a Florida flag outside your home. Polyester with brass grommets, four rows of stitching helps prevent fraying at the edges, especially when exposed to Florida’s sometimes-vicious summer storms.

Acrylic Florida Christmas Ornament

I’m in love with the way this ornament looks on my tree! It’s a great size and the bright colors, different from traditional Christmas colors, really stands out on the tree. I also give this as a gift or stocking stuffer to family and friends who come to spend the holidays with us in Florida, a little treat that can remind them year after year of wonderful times spent here with us.

Clothing Gifts from Florida

Florida is Calling Vintage T-Shirt

Show off your love for Florida or visiting Florida with this t-shirt. Bright colors on a black background stand out and let everyone know “you must go” to Florida. I love several things about this shirt – the vintage palm trees and colors, the lightweight feel of it, and that it comes in men and women cuts. Because, let’s face it, as a woman I prefer a cut that fits me better than the unisex one does.

Florida Beach T-Shirt

If you prefer a light-colored t-shirt (and I usually do in the Florida heat!), this brightly-colored shirt fits the bill. Lightweight and cut for women and men, grab this tee in a variety of pastel colors – baby blue, gray, yellow, pink, or white. Which color would you go for? Or maybe get a shirt in each color!

Games and Entertainment Gifts from Florida

Best of Florida Jigsaw Puzzle

Anyone else love to lose themselves in a jigsaw puzzle? This 500 piece puzzle looks like it should be really hard because it’s so intricately designed; however, with so much detail, it’s easy to fit a great deal of this puzzle together. Still, it’s sure to provide several hours of entertainment and then make a great piece of decor. Just glue it to backing when finished, frame, and hang.

Florida-Opoly Board Game

Calling all Monopoly lovers! This Florida-themed version of the classic board game features custom game pieces, like a palm tree, flip flops, and sunglasses. On the board, players “Go Floridian” rather than passing Go and jail becomes a “hurricane warning”. Players can purchase prime real estate such as the Gulf of Mexico, St. Augustine, and Disney World. Bring a fun twist to your game night with Florida-opoly!

Other Gifts from Florida

Book: Pirates of the Florida Coast

Though this book didn’t make my list of best books set in Florida, it’s still a great read for anyone interesting in the history of pirates and piracy in Florida. Pirate stories abound in the Sunshine State. From the Keys to the panhandle, pirate lore shapes the history and identity of many places in Florida. Consider, for example, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a football team named for this history of pirates. On the East Coast, several pirate museums explore the history of pirates on Florida’s Atlantic coast and display artifacts found from shipwrecks. There’s even a festival named for a fictional pirate, Tampa’s Gasparilla. This book explores all of that and more.

Citrus: Gourmet Citrus Fruit Gift Pack

Few things say “Florida” more than fresh oranges and grapefruit. Give the gift of fresh citrus fruit this holiday season. The gift pack includes 20 oranges and 10 grapefruit, approximately 20 pounds of fresh fruit. Packaged with ice packs and insulated liners, the fruit stays fresh during delivery and is a welcome surprise, especially for your northern friends who might be missing the warmth and sun of Florida.

Keychain: Flip Flop and Shell Charm Keychain

This little gift is perfect for a stocking stuffer or if you, like me, love to give several smaller, heart-felt gifts to your loved ones. Lightweight, this keychain won’t damage the ignition, and it will bring a smile to anyone’s face every time they grab the keys and think of Florida. Bring a little sunshine to someone’s daily life!

Drinks: Florida Flask Gift Set

It’s the perfect gift for a Floridian or Florida-over who loves a drink. The flasks unique round shape is engraved with Florida and holds ten ounces of a favorite liquor or drink. The set includes two shot glasses and a funnel so not a drop is wasted. The packaging is lovely as well.
