2023 Local Holiday Gift Guide
2023 Local Holiday Gift Guide

Every year I like to put together a list of local artists, makers, and businesses to support and this year is no different. And I know that art is something that is so personal to so many but I think you will find that there is truly something for everyone on the list this year.

As always, NO ONE on this list has paid to be featured and receives no compensation, just a little publicity to encourage us all to shop small and shop local this holiday season.

Be sure to read the descriptions as many are offering discounts or special promotions if you mention this blog! So without further ado, I present:

2023 Mother's Day Gift Guide
2023 Mother's Day Gift Guide

Am I the only one who can’t believe that Mother’s Day is almost here? Does that make me a certifiable old lady to say things like that? Yes. Yes it does.

Either way, it’s that time of year and if you’re stumped on what to get that special Mother figure in your life, I’ve got you covered. As always, I haven’t purchased EVERY one of these so I can’t speak to the quality of each one but several of these I have or have purchased and love.

2022 Wilmington Holiday Gift Guide
2022 Wilmington Holiday Gift Guide

The Holiday Season is already upon us and that means it’s time for this year’s Local Holiday Gift Guide. This year I’m featuring a handful of local artists and makers whose work I love ranging from candles to cocktails. Whether you are looking for a gift for that special someone on your list, the person who has everything, or something for yourself, I’ve got you covered!

One of my favorite things about compiling this list each year is learning about amazing local artists and businesses that I somehow didn’t know existed. And while I knew about some of these, some were new to me. Some were recommended by blog readers and Instagram followers and some were people I found on my own but ALL of them are makers I appreciate.

Local Holiday Gift Roundup
Local Holiday Gift Roundup

Have you ever noticed how many incredibly talented people are in our area? The Cape Fear Region is FILLED with amazing artists in almost every possible medium.

It’s so easy to spend lots of money online and in big box stores buying things that people will enjoy for a short time but why not spend money locally on something that people will treasure for years to come and will support your neighbors and community at large? Not to mention we have all seen the effects of shipping delays over the past 2 years.

Below is a list of some of my favorite holiday gifts from local artisans. And if you know me personally, you may expect to get some of these in the coming weeks :)
