Of course I'm going to want all beach lovers to check out my signs, so they are on the list! If you don't know, all our signs are handmade here in Florida by my woman-owned small business.
Here's some of my best sellers, perfect for the beach lover in your life!
Our location signs make the perfect gift for the beach lover who has everything, but doesn't have a custom sign for their favorite beach vacation spot!
Z Sells Seashells
My friend Lisa from Z Sells Seashells travels full time in her RV exploring coastal cities, and she makes beautiful things with....seashells of course!
Check out one of her decoupage sea shells or wall hangings here on her Poshmark.
Josspure Soaps
You may have seen my feature on Frances from Josspure Soaps here. This hand poured Island Nectar soap is perfection- for beach aesthetics and for healthy skin after a visit to the beach!
Capeology
Samantha from Capeology not only takes beautiful photos and is amazing at supporting other small business owners, but also has the most beautiful coastal jewelry! It was hard for me to pick some to feature, but you know how I feel about anchors!
Salty Harbor
Brandi from Salty Harbor is also a great supporter of small business owners. There are so many cool coastal items on her website, you'll be sure to find something you like! I am absolutely obsessed with this cool hoodie, and I'm betting you can guess why! It is definitely my color!! 😍 What makes Brandi extra cool- she carries some Anchored Soul on her website!
Salty Harbor Wave Pullover Auburn Woods
I'm obsessed with Auburn Woods candles, and although most are more of a lake cabin, woodsy vibe, I had to include one in this gift guide because I just love their quality. Linda and I have connected as small business owners for a long while now, and I was looking for a coconut based candle and was thrilled to find hers!
Lavender Driftwood is a perfect beachy scent for any time of year!
Lavender Driftwood Candle Salt & Branch
Melissa from Salt & Branch and I have had a unique business relationship in that we've sold each others products in our own individual stores! I am amazed at how well she has grown her own business from carrying other makers to now being a maker herself selling amazing and high quality self care products with a coastal twist!
She has some amazing rollerball perfumes that will transport you right to those sunny days by the sea- no matter what time of the year it actually is! Check out this perfect citrus and sea salt here and all the other great products she carries.
Citrus and Sea Salt Rollerball Perfume Avery's Home
I met Avery from Avery's Home when we did our very first wholesale tradeshow together back in 2018. We INSTANTLY connected over our love of the beach!
Avery draws and hand-paints designs with watercolors and then turns them into amazing products. When I had my own local booth, I carried her adorable tea towels, and somedays they out sold my own products!
I can attest to them being high quality and lasting products, plus they are beautiful and make amazing gifts. She also donates to many amazing charities with each purchase, and her husband works with her to print and ship out her amazing designs. They are an amazing team.
Here’s a couple of my favorites!
Sea Glass Tea Towel
Fossil & Flame
Samantha of Fossil & Flame is a local to me maker here on Amelia Island, who creates beautiful candles with a shark tooth embedded! It's such a cool concept, and a great gift for a beach lover. In fact, her candle has been gifted to me by friends, and she is well-known and loved at our local markets!
If you know a shark tooth lover, this is a must grab for them! And it pairs well with Avery's shark tooth towel above and one of my shark tooth signs if you need a big gift set!
Shark Tooth CandleStride Coastal
Cherie of Stride Coastal is an amazing artist who puts her artwork on not only super cute but also beach functional items like tumblers and totes that are perfect for your next beach trip!
You know I had to show off this tumbler with anchors and this adorable tote bag! They are a perfect match for the beach lover!
